Argue Quotations | Page 2

We have regressed. You can't really argue with that. Our team defense is Swiss cheese right now. Any time you are giving up the points we've given up over the last seven games, you can't say anything but negative things about our defense. I can't think of anything positive.

There are those who would argue that conversion is not proliferation-significant because it does not produce weapons-grade material, but from our perspective, conversion is another step forward to acquire enrichment capability.

The profitability of the business hasn't been any better than it has been. It is still low margins and price-competitive. The question investors should ask is if Amazon is a retailer or an Internet stock. I would argue that it is a retailer.

Like Christians, Soccerians argue that you should not judge the essence of their faith by the loopy activities of its followers. But the Beautiful Game is in fact quite the opposite. It is badly designed and riddled with flaws.

Leverage has been a profitable trade in the past and it has allowed many closed-end funds to deliver very compelling yields, but the risk is your total return could suffer. Leverage can cut both ways; it can magnify your gains but it can also accentuate your losses. ... On the flip side, if you are delving into these more unusual strategies, one could argue the closed-end format lends itself to them pretty well, because your manager is not having to redeem shares everyday.

Lots of people argue that it is cheaper to live in South Dakota and that should be a trade off. We recruit on a national level, and cost of living is something applicants generally don't consider.

Lee said in the dressing room that it was the worst tackle ever and I wouldn't argue with that. It was horrific. He has a badly bruised knee and could be out for a few weeks.

Less than 1 percent of his tax cut takes effect this year. All economists are saying it does not stimulate the economy and I would argue it would have the opposite effect,

Many people argue that oil interests are the driving force behind the Iraq war. For China, it has been a reminder and a warning about how geopolitical changes can affect its own energy interests. So China has decided to focus much more intently to address its security.

Many people will assume I'm drawing a wildly idealistic portrait of what the church can become. I would argue that all of the changes I'm calling for are not only realistic, they're essential. And I'd also say that in some way or other, each of them is already underway.

Many would argue (child labor) has to occur because families need to have their child bringing home that small amount of money. But the fact is that if those children were in school today they could contribute more to their families,

Some might say there was a team in the country that needed a win like this more than we did. I would argue that.

She can always say that she's following the dictates of the law and doing her duty as attorney general. And it's clearly a great honor to argue a case in front of this court.

Most people would argue the Canadian dollar is fairly valued somewhere in the 80-85 U.S. cent range, and we're not far from that. So I suspect the conditions manufacturers are facing right now are perhaps more reflective of the true long-term type of conditions they should expect.

Most people think we're in for a couple more rate hikes in the United States. We'd argue that that would make life more difficult for equity markets but so far they seem to be trickling along quite nicely.

My job as a social studies teacher is to argue alternative perspectives and viewpoints so that students are aware of those points of views.

One problem with politics is that it is a zero sum game, i.e. politicians argue how to cut the pie smaller and smaller, by reshuffling pieces of the pie. I think this is destructive. Instead, we should be creating a bigger pie, i.e. funding the science that is the source of all our prosperity. Science is not a zero sum game.

One might argue that proper understanding of any social situation would require game-theoretic analysis.

One can argue whether it's slowing down fast enough, but it is slowing down. We're doing better than business as usual. That's the president's goal.

One can argue the history of America has been one big makeover show,

One can argue that the market might've gotten ahead of itself, and might have pushed up prices of some of these companies a bit too high. But the recent drop is an overreaction. I see this as a buying opportunity. Prospects for the sector are still extremely positive.

No one can argue with the fact that Joe and his offense are 6-0 right now. Sure, we want to be better offensively and we want to complete more passes, but the fact that we're 6-0 says a lot about him and the entire football team.

On first glance, one could argue that all three of these paintings are all alike. The palette is almost identical, but the similarities tie them together only briefly once you start looking at these.

My drawings have been described as pre-intentionalist, meaning that they were finished before the ideas for them had occurred to me. I shall not argue the point.

My father, if he thought in his mind that two plus two equals five, then he will argue with you for about five hours until he got mad and just sent me to bed. It's his house, he's right.

No one will ever argue that someone could have played Helen Keller better than Patty Duke. It was an incredibly demanding role and I don't think anyone can argue that it was a false performance.

Now there would be a lot of people that would argue they are worth it. I would say, okay, maybe they are. But, gosh, if there's a stumble... if you're trading at more than twice your growth rate... the down side becomes horrific.

Now, there are some who argue that our party needs to be reinvented to make it more popular. Well, I say, they're dead wrong.

Retiring numbers in sports is way overdone, but it's impossible to argue with this one. Messier always will be 'the captain' in New York.

On the explanation given to me, the referee agreed it went into the net but that he blew his whistle first. I couldn't really see it, so there wasn't a lot I could argue about.

I was solicited to argue this cause as Advocate-General; and, because I would not, I have been charged with desertion from my office.

I would have preferred that the panel decision stand, but I am happy to argue before the en banc court.

I would argue this is the first major step towards a subscription operating system.

I would argue the mayor's salary should go up the same as everyone else's. If the mayor wishes to tear up his check, that's one thing, but I think his salary ought to be the same as everyone else's.

I would argue that you're only going to get the conservatives, particularly a Republican House, to pass immigration reform if we, as conservatives, are reassured that the border is controlled and that we get to vote on whether the border is controlled.

I would argue that William Smith turned a lot of things on their head with this map, which was a hugely important and profound development,

I would argue that while there hasn't been that kind of breakthrough series this year, cable has continued to grow nevertheless. Eventually they'll have to come up with something fresh.

I would argue that we are in a serious energy crisis.

I would argue that using our software, all things being equal like in NASCAR, our software would give you an edge that could be 10 to 20 percent advantage over the other drivers either in fuel efficiency or in top speed.

I would argue that the left has had a litmus test all along that a nominee can't be pro-life. Roe is bad law,

I would argue that the aesthetics in flattening out a scene completely are obsolete.

I would argue that's because we had a bunch of smart people running around here. They were coming in and working very hard and many of them had left jobs in which they made significantly more money.

I would argue that makes (the permits) more valuable. There would be a limited number of them, so they'd have an economic value they don't have now.

I would argue that definitely they have the best talent. They invest so much because the more great talent you have, the easier it is to attract even more great talent.

I would argue that anyone in his position, who is planning to invest huge amounts of money in further player acquisitions in January and the development of the ground, would want the comfort of being in control.

I would argue our celebrities is Joe from Berwyn and Hank from Cicero and the family that came in from Orland Park that might be sitting in section 120, and they are as much a celebrity as anybody else,

I grew up in the '70s and '80s, at a time that I'd argue was the absolute golden age of American popular culture. Because not only did we have all of the fantastic new stuff in print and on screens, but we had a constant supply of everything that came before, as well.

If they thought it was unachievable, one could argue that Bissell owed it to JFK to tell him what they thought. There is no evidence that he did.

I don't ever talk about it, ... There are some Christians (co-workers) who argue I'm doing something bad, but this (lawsuit) is pro-liberty, pro-equality. The government is required to stay out of the religion business.

I don't know very much, but what I do know I know better than anybody, and I don't want to argue about it. I know what I think about an actor or an actress, and am not interested in what anybody else thinks.

I don't always succeed in creating a delicious dinner for my family; I would, however, argue for the likely success of Taco Night. Who doesn't love a taco? Make it with veggie crumbles! Add fish! Have you tried ground buffalo? The results are always impressive.

I am doing what I want to do, which is kind of a first. I get up in the morning and don't argue with the government, and I don't argue about money.

Cell phone makes those boundaries between public and private very porous. In the past, if you're having a spat with a significant other in a public place, one of you will argue and say, 'Not here' because it's intrusive. But now, with cell phones, there's no 'Not here' anymore.

But it's one of those things, and this is still the original Classic. The Irish Champion may be on the same day, but I'm not sure it's looking quite so impressive this year, and we could argue that the Leger is still the premier race of the afternoon.

Bulk collection of phone records didn't find or stop the Tsarnaev brothers from the massacre in Boston. In fact, one might argue that all of the money spent on bulk collection takes money away from human analysts that might have noticed the older brother's trip to become radicalized in Chechnya.

I'm all for past influences; the question is whether they are deterministic. Freud and the behaviorists argue that what we are at any given moment is billiard balls whose past determines our future course. That doesn't take into account that we are forever generating internal representations of positive futures and choosing among them.

I'm always going to counsel and advise student-athletes in their best interest. Right now, Richard is in a position where he is expected to go on the first day of the draft, and he believes he's ready to start making a living in the NFL. I can't argue with that.

I felt like I was still strong, but you can't argue with going to our bullpen. When you hold that lineup down the way we did tonight, you've got to find a way to win.

I felt fine, ... I wanted to take all of the snaps, but (coach Tom Coughlin) took me out and I don't argue with the head man about that. But I was making all the throws. I threw some deep ones that actually had too much on them. I have to work on the timing on some of those things, but it felt good throwing.

Fundamentals will determine the level of dollar-yen, and the fundamentals still argue for a higher dollar-yen.

I don't think anyone would dispute that the campaign to oppose these reforms has been led by the union bosses. If anyone wants to argue that it is $96 million or $100 million, wait a few days. The unions have shown no sign of slowing down.

If anyone says we're a bad team, I'll argue with them all day. We have great talent and lots of games left to play.

If 90-plus percent of the Democrats vote against...and 90-plus percent of the Republicans vote for.... it is hard to argue it is not partisan.

For me, ... there are no real taboos, as long as it's done with respect and sensitivity and the care and creativity of an artist. But is there a clear line between pornography of a sexual and violent nature, and art? It is a fine distinction and we'll probably argue about that to the end of our days.

For the smaller services, the challenge is to make some kind of a case for why people would want to stay with them, ... They can argue today that they are more mature and they can offer more tools. This isn't a death knell for the smaller services, but this is a door slamming for them growing more.

If we stood up a new enterprise architecture governance board, I would have got a lot of IT geeks. People don't argue with things that he signed out.

If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual (gay) sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery, ... You have the right to anything. Does that undermine the fabric of our society? I would argue yes, it does.

I always got a lump in my throat whenever I walked up those marble steps to argue a case before the court.

He had to do what he had to do. If I did something wrong at home, my mother had to punish me and I'm not going to argue with her. It's one of those disciplinary things.

This was not something he can argue with because these are the concerns that are circulating on the Hill.

The people who are most enthusiastic about this are Hewlett-Packard and IBM. They just love this. I would argue that for 99 percent of business reasons there are very few cases where you really need it. There are instances where it is needed, but they are the exception, not the rule.

We're playing what some argue is the best team in college football history.

To date, this is the best evidence for a long bar in our galaxy. It's hard to argue with this data.

He recognized this was an important niche, but I would also argue that he saw himself as contributing to the uplift of African Americans and contributing to a changing America.

Golf ratings are up with or without Tiger. Nobody's going to argue the point that he impacts ratings. At the same time, golf is a highly profitable, highly successful sport. This isn't a doomsday scenario for golf.

Going past the '70s and '80s there was a great reliance on the celebrity, the movie star and the person who sold a million records. People would argue that Ebony didn't become the journal to discuss substantive and thorny issues.

He secretly knows what happened. You're always looking for the right place, which was here. Board members didn't argue about petty things and wanted to do the right thing. I used to tell friends I knew I had found the right place.

Hollywood and the recording industry argue that current law permits the copying of songs and movies, and sharing them on the Internet. This enables young people to grow up learning how to steal.

There is an issue here; operators argue that they can no longer get into the likes of Heathrow, London and other main hubs at peak times,

He wasn't the sort of person I would seek out in the pub, ... There was always tension around him and he would argue a lot and get very drunk. His wife Caitlin was a worry, too.

He was a guy who would argue with you one minute and drive across the state of Iowa to back you up the next. He was a true friend to all law-enforcement officers.

He can't argue his way to better numbers. He needs favorable results in Iraq. And that's out of his hands.

I was just angry at my mom, ... I don't know if it was because they broke up, but I used to argue with my mom a lot, just over little things.

Kirk's father was pretty good at it, and now Kirk -- they're the best, ... They give you good advice, and if you bring something back, they don't argue with you. They turn out to be your friends instead of just somebody in a store.

I wouldn't say my mother was my best friend, because that sounds odd, but we have a really tight bond and she is my friend on Facebook. Although she only goes on it to check up on me and sometimes we argue about it.

I wouldn't argue that anyone living can play the trumpet better than Wynton Marsalis.

Jails may make an argument that canteen funds should be treated separately from government funds. We would argue that they aren't. Once they enter the canteen it's the government's money and needs to be treated like any other money that belongs to the government.

I think it's become the premier all-star game in the state. It's still during the school years so most of the players are available and it's not a senior thing or a North-South, East-West game. There are just great players on both teams. It's hard to argue that any of the top players in the state were omitted.

I think it's important from the policy stand point in that if the housing market is cooling down then I would argue that the Fed would probably have to do a little less.

It is a difficult matter to argue with the belly since it has no ears.

I think you would be hard-pressed to find an economist, aside from the supply-siders, who would argue against the idea that deficits matter.

I think you can argue it's a problem for both parties, and with the whole system. Each party will take it and try to run with it. It hurts politics in Illinois.

I think you can argue it either way. If you're releasing your tax returns, at least you're controlling the timing.

I think the earnings will be good but not great, and the market will react accordingly. Some people argue that stocks may have already priced in that the numbers will be fine, but I think you're going to continue to see stocks rising. The S&P 500 potentially has room to add another 6 to 7 percent in the near term.

I think we kind of got some respect tonight. I think everybody sees how the defense can play. Everybody knows the offense can strike at will, so we're just trying to get better and better. All we can do is go out there and go undefeated and at the end of the season argue about it.

I think that one could argue that these women are letting down the team. Consider a society in which the entire Supreme Court is male. We may actually experience that in our lifetime. What would it feel like if the entire Congress were male?

I think we've been one of the real innovative states. It doesn't mean we don't argue and fight we do because we're human. But what will sustain the state of Washington is that we have an awful lot of dedicated emergency managers who have worked together for years.

I think we should write a platform that allows the nominee to argue his position.

I think a lot of folks who were at that meeting felt pretty chagrined, I would argue this is still pretty material information, given the high profile nature of this company and the emergence of click fraud as a high-profile subject.

I think anybody deserves the right for a second chance and to prove they've been rehabilitated. We can argue about how long that takes and what you need to do to be rehabilitated .Ê.Ê. but everyone should have the opportunity to prove it.
