Because I'm terrible at it. :(

I got myself into a bit of a flame war with someone on YouTube. He has no argument himself but because I keep coming across as this...really NICE person, I can't really see myself winning this. It's not the first time it's happened either ^^"

Anyway, I'm not going to say much more on the matter. This thread's about you. :love:. Are you good at arguing?

No. I always end up making myself look like more of a fool. I even lose to pokémon kids.
It's something I try to avoid.

Not really, most of the people I argue with are stubborn assholes so I can NEVER win.

I hate arguing, so I try to avoid doing so. However, I can argue well if the subject of the argue is something I know front and back. Otherwise, if not, I just say some random things to get my point across. xP

I don't believe this is a question I even need to answer for people to know.

No way. I can't ever put what I want to say into the right words. Or really...any words. I don't really enjoy arguing either. :D Peace, love, and understanding.

I'm great at it. I win alittle TOO much. Without even really trying.

Really love doing it too as long as its not anything serious where someone will get hurt. Anything else and its fun.

I don't care to argue much, but I'll do my best if I have to. I'm generally nice to most people I talk to for the first time anyway.

If I am right and I know im right, I'd go pretty far. Sometimes you cant argue with Ignorance, say if someone just states that im wrong every time without proof, then I'd give up to not waste any more time.

Im not a fighter im a lover.:love:

But i love argueing with people as long as they dont take it to seriously. I love to argue even when i know im wrong but that makes it fun especially if im wrong and i get others to belive me thats the best.

I have an older brother i always get into fights with and i would get frustrated that i would loose all the time, but that turned out to be good for me. Most things at school that would bother other people just brush by me sometimes i get used but i dont mind in the end the ones who just use their plan never work so i just enjoy the ride aslong as it doesn't hurt my friends.

But that things dont bother me anymore and in like five minutes i can get over a bad mood ive been winning all my arguements with others including my brother which is great i love seeing him get mad that his younger sister outsmarted him. Yeah!:)

Not the best, I tend to think of good points after the fact. Also I tend to see both sides of the argument. The only thing I hate is arguing with self-rightuous people who think they are right even if you prove them wrong.

I can be. Unless I'm arguing with someone like Viator. Trying that would just drive me crazy.

But yeah, I usually am.

I guess I'm fairly good at it. It could probably get violent if someone goes too far though.

I always end up regretting it later. I focus more on making points quickly rather than thinking them through. I'm even worse if it's real life. u_u;

It depends on the type of arguement and who it is with.

No, you're wonderful at it!! You did not get into a flame war at YouTube!! You don't come across as nice at all, and there is no way you'll win!! This is most certainly the first time it's happened!!

....how am I doing?

Maybe you should learn how to spell before you begin to even contemplate your skills as a debater of various topics.

I think I am, but sometimes when I argue I forget what I'm trying to say (or what I say makes sense to me but not to the person I'm arguing with) and I look like an idiot xD

i often like to argue with made up facts. Then i walk away from every discussion like , "they are just ignorant, Mike. You totally won that."

I'm quite a poor arguer, but I make up for it by always being right.

No. I just get angry, and when I get angry I cry. Its hard to talk and cry without hiccuping.

I'm terrible at arguing. I have a pretty bad temper as well, so that makes it worse. But what normally happens is I can never find the right words, so my view normally comes off completely differnet, and I end up looking more stupid than I actually am. Which is saying alot. :(

I am a poor arguer simply because I don't make any money at it. And because I am male. WHY CAN'T MEN EVAR WIN?

No, because it always ends in tears!

I usually know my facts before I start an argument, so I'm bound to win, plus I'm pretty confident if I have the right knowledge.

I'm great at arguing, except when someone makes me laugh, then I can't focus enough to argue.

Yes. I'm well known for it. Adults didn't even want to argue with me as a child, because they knew I'd run rings around them.

I think I'm a decent arguer, especially when I have a good point. I've been known to take on the entire staff of a forum without them having any rebuttals to my point other than to close the thread because of how bad they got pwned.

Peegee
08-22-2006, 04:41 AM
I've conditioned myself to be both ignorant and unintelligent.

But that doesn't mean I'm not smart. I just act idiotic.

I can argue well if I can be bothered to research the material.

Usually I can argue and win. But there are some people who are just so damn good with words it's impossible.

The Unknown Guru
08-22-2006, 05:07 AM
I'm pretty good at arguing, especially with stubborn idiots. Just always keep calm and talk with purpose and reason. Turn their idiocy against them, just like judo but with words.
Example Insult: HAHA HA!!!1! **** *** noob ****er!!!!, etc.
Example Response: Most of the civilized world does'nt seem to think so. Maybe you don't fit into that category.

If you do it well, they will probably just insult you again. Providing facts helps too, but never, ever yell back.

With reasonable arguments against reasonable people, just state your side of the argument and defend it with reason and fact.
