Comparing Apples and Oranges

I have been in plenty of debates and arguments in my life. They never lead anywhere and they are always about winning. Maybe a few have lead to some further understanding and knowledge. I can always tell when I am winning a verbal conflict when the opposing part drops the line, "Well you can't compare apples and oranges".

This is total bullshit not just for the sake of the fact that it's a cop out. It's also a load of rubbish because you totally can compare apples and oranges. Here's a list:

-Apples are sweeter; even the sour ones.

-Oranges are more sour.

-You have to peel an orange while you can bite into an apples. Apples are more user friendly. Oranges require some disassembly.

-Apples come in a variety of colors. Oranges comes in orange

-Both grow on trees. Not only can you compare them; they have something in common.

-Oranges have more vitamin C.

-Apples have more fiber. Apples make you poop more.

-Apples grow on rose trees. Oranges don't.

-You can make an apple pie. I have yet to see an orange pie.

-You can make cider out of apples. There isn't anything called Orange Cider.

-Apples are crunchy and juicy. Oranges are just juicy.

-Both go well on salads.

-Apples and oranges both go well with alcohol.


Yep. Just compared them.
