I can convince you to register on my website and tell your friends about it

You raise very valid points. I am glad that someone who seems to be very logical chose to be my opponent. I am even more excited at the prospect of convincing someone who prima facie does not fit into what is most likely the demographic i am targeting. (I'm not just saying that to soften you up or suck up). Actual Website I admit i wasn't very clear of what the actual website is about. So here it is- there are 2 sites; the one which is currently functional, but still under development is laex.co.za- that is supposed to be the online mall (i didn't post this from the get go because i felt that it would appear as though i am simply promoting my site and not actually interested in having a good debate and in the process learning what flaws my 'pitch' has). The second site is not functional yet- that's the motivational site. I still believe i could at least try to convince you to sign up as soon as the site is functional- but this remains to be seen. Audience Targeting= Failure Ofcourse you are not African- In all the years i have been on this site- i have never argued against another African national. But the beauty of Africa is it is not just for Africans. Just as the USA, Australia and Europe Africa is a multi-racial continent, and everyone regardless of their nationality or race originates from Africa. 'Being proud of being a African' is recognizing that regardless of which part of the world you live in we share a common beginning- Africa. The term African in this context is a reference to your heritage- your roots, the part of you that longs to make the world a better place (to unite the world). The part of the 19 year old that wants to teach people how to reason better, how to formulate a logical argument and how to articulate their thoughts to the world. But what about the site- why should i join it?- As a 19 year old, philosopher who enjoys writing, has a very logical thought pattern, debates in his spare time, is a go-getter (which is why you work part time) and is motivated mostly by making a difference in people's lives (the only way you can do this and i am sure you would agree is by learning to communicate to people in the best way possible); you have so much influence, but i believe there is not a platform designed specifically for someone who thinks the way you do. There isn't a platform that gives you the creative freedom, a potentially big enough audience where you can make a difference to people who need to read your words (as a young person). Of course there are many social networking and blogging sites where you can write endlessly- but to what ends- if you want to start a blog and you want to reach a lot of fans you would have to pay a lot to market your blog and at the end of it all you will spend a lot of time on marketing, time which you could have spent developing content. What is the relevance of all of this. The site we are creating is for you. As the first unofficial person to sign up to our motivational site as soon as it is created. You would be one of the contributors- in terms of text. You are a pioneer (picture that- for a second). You can teach people who genuinely need your help how to think the way you do. You can impart your intelligence on them. Is that not motivation enough- is the prospects of helping people not a motivation on its own, is that not what keeps us all alive? And what of the other site? The other site is an extension of the vision i have with the 'not yet functional site', but in a more practical sense. As i said in the opening argument it is an online mall where African entrepreneurs who cannot afford to set up an online shop have the ability to do so for free. What do you gain from signing up. I suppose for this argument i would actually have to understand what you buy online- if you buy online that is
