These are all excellent strategies if you don't have an opinion, another few that work every time:

• Deny that people should be discussing the topic. This makes you look "above the discussion", and therefore win it without having to research anything.

• Attack something that was meant as a joke originally. Most people understand that it was a joke, but the few that don't will agree with you and after a while this vocal minority will clear the room of people who rightfully think they're humorless dweebs, leaving you alone with them - and thus forming a majority.

• Demand to see the other person's credentials. There is no "Opinion Credential" so they'll never really be able to produce one. Works every time.

• Pretend the other person doesn't understand your side of the arguement, over and over and over and over and over and over again.

• Treat other opinions as if they were thought up by sniveling poopy-panted 2 year olds.

• Only answer the most ridiculous, absurd objections to your arguement. Answer them convincingly. Answer them in extreme detail.

The above points work on ANY subject! It's fun! Try 'em!
