how dos it maek u ph331? Good times? Bane of your existence? Even if you win, you're still that weird kid who loves unicorns a little too much?
Time and time again I find myself arguing with some random stranger whose opinion I disagree with. Can't help it. They're just so wrong, and I need to show them!
Sadly it usually ends with a condescending one-liner from their part, or they continue to be mind-numbingly stubborn and I give up.
At the end of the day, I wonder why I put so much effort in convincing this random person they're wrong.
[i][I guess it all goes for arguments in general, but I rarely get into heated arguments with people I know decently.][/i]
inb4this thread explodes into a bunch of arguments.
Nah, I just don't enjoy getting into them. It makes me angry, but I usually resolve them when not in them myself.
It's always a MW2 debate or something, and I just go in there saying, "It's all opinion and playstyle. MW2 is for those point and shoot, arcade twitch people, and Battlefield is for those think, shoot, squad, strategy people."
Heated discussions tend to go downhill into flames and insults, usually.
Always.
I tend to razzle dazzel people with solid scientifically accurate facts.
They reply with a "**** you" :tongue.gif:
But yeah, I love arguing with people depending on the topic. As long as it stays away from a flame fest. But yeah, its always fun to talk about philosophy with people who share similar or opposing views that always makes things interesting.

When someone is wrong I try to correct them. This is a vague rule however and can be applied as seen fit. If it is a discussion with a smart person I am much more likely to oppose them. If it is a post like "I THINK MINECRAFT SHOD HAVE A OOLOT OF BLOD AND FIINAL BOSES" I probably won't get involved.
If I have an opinion on a subject, I state it. If I think someone else's opinion statement desreves to be commented on, I do so. If someone argues with my stated position on the subject, I go into ragemode and argue hopelessly like a limbless baskeball player on an empty court by proving the opposition wrong if able.
That's how I feel about the subject, anyway.
My discussions in real life tend to play out the same way. This is why my teachers hate me. :sad.gif: They think I'm disagreeing but I'm just trying to show them that they're terribly idiotic. It's their own fault they get all defensive and whip out the pen-and-punishment-slip.

I never really enjoyed arguments online seeing as how I'm a lover, not a fighter, so I have no arguments to rebuttal with, all I really say is "NOT TRUE". Yeah, I'm pretty sad. There are those times though where you just HAVE to argue, 'cause you know they're saying something stupid and obviously wrong, or they're just pushing the boundaries a bit too far.
You'd really have to outline "arguing". Does that have a negative implication, like that the arguers are both arguing angrily? If an argument in this case is just a discussion from two conflicting perspectives, that's fine. If you are implying that the people involved are mad while doing so, it goes downhill and turns into what I imagine most people here would consider an argument - with that anger negatively affecting the actual content of the otherwise acceptable discussion.
No one wins in an argument, one just comes out slightly less offended than the other.
To be completely honest I don't think I could categorize simply arguing into "fun", "rage-inducing" or "special Olympics". When it comes right down to it an argument is just a discussion pertaining to to a subject that one or more parties involve in the discussion do not agree on some aspect of, and to simply place such a transaction into one of these categories would be like trying to categorize a discussion where one person knows more about the subject than the other or a discussion where one party is not telling the truth about their opinion on the matter into one of these categories.
I don't think certain conditions present during a discussion can place it into any category. If I'm discussing something I like, I might be happy. On the other hand if I am discussing something I dislike the discussion may induce rage. Discussions are an activity which is fundamental to human culture, asking to categorize them seems like asking to categorize walking. If you're walking towards a place you dislike, sure it might not be too fun. But if you're walking to somewhere you like(and aren't impatient, I guess) it's not really a problem.

much prefer religious arguments. (And not the typical HURRDURR UR DUM AN STOOPID FOR BEREEVING IN GAWD
I tend to not like religious arguments in real life, because people are so closed-minded to other views of religion. An excellent example is an atheist friend of mine; he's a smart kid, but if he ever disagrees with someone, they just say that he's dumb because he doesn't believe in God (when half of them are sacreligious or uncaring, themselves).

Works every time.
TL;DR
I hate arguments, only when in them.
Always.

They do, but that's never fun. I prefer arguments to stick to opinions/facts rather than personal insults.
Although sometimes it's a bit hard to hold your tongue... ¬ _ ¬
