How much do you like to argue and debate things? I think we all probably know people who can’t let go of arguments and will never admit to being wrong. I get pretty tired of arguing endlessly with people like that. I try and explain my point of view as best as possible and try to keep an open mind about what the other person is saying, but after a while it gets tiresome. Do you like to keep arguing until you get your point across, even get angry at times during the process? Can you admit that the other person has a valid point and/or maybe even you may not be right?

Re: Arguing and stuff
There's a difference between debating something and arguing about it. Some people are quite stubborn and won't see things from other side, and some people get a bit too 'passionate' about what they're arguing for,
Personally I just like the nod-and-pretend-to-agree approach if it gives me less headache :D
Re: Arguing and stuff
i try at first.......and usually......i can pretty early spot people with whom arguing is uselesss.......so i just pretend to agree and get over with it................. unless its a topic i am passionate/emotional about (which are very very rare)
Re: Arguing and stuff
Debating is :k:
Arguing wastes your energy and time and sanity
Re: Arguing and stuff
Depends on who it is I am debating/arguing with. Generally I hardly ever get into arguments, I know I can't change anyone's beliefs/thinking, so it really ain't worth the headache. Some people - I debate/argue with them on religion and politics solely to piss them off, and absolutely love watching them squirm and wiggle in their seats, and trying hard to keep themselves from kicking my head in. A very few people - I discuss religion with them because I know it is a mutual learning process between me and them, I have absolutely mental questions in my head when it comes to religion, so yeh, I know they wouldn't jump to judgments but discuss things with an open mind. I absolutely HATE when people argue over politics. But then, I only do it to annoy other people, so I think they do it to annoy me. Really works, and I think that is all politics is good for anyway.
