    Default I like arguing (debating if I dont want to look petty)

    I like arguing my point of view, particularly when Im right but I dont mind being wrong because I enjoyed the debate/argument. Sometimes I even feel sick from it but I still like it. Is it only me?

    Friendly debates, like over a video game, are fun to me. The ones in EoEo or Eyes on the World are a bit... scary though.

    Funnily enough, the ones in EoEO and EoTW are just as pointless as the video game arguments.

    Well Ive argued with Lionx and Odaise Gaeilach too. Some of the arguments we ended up on good terms with each other through PM (Lionx you're uber freaking nice ). I still wanna be on good terms with you Chris though (y'know even if you are wrong and all )

    Whenever I debate I put on my battle mask, but only when I debate.
    Of course we're okay, I never let it get personal.

    I think arguments, or rather, expressing your opinions can go either way, from good to bad, depending on what actions are taken. I myself do it only if its needed, otherwise I try to avoid it.

    I enjoy debating, but I don't get involved unless I know a fairly decent amount about the subject. The way I see it, the point isn't to change the mind of the person you're debating, it's to help make up the minds of the people who haven't decided which way they want to go (concerning that topic) yet. As in, I know I'm not going to get some schmuck to stop being Socialist, but at least I can make him and his ideas look stupid enough that other people wouldn't want to agree with him.

    I used to be a debate kind of guy, but the interest has kind of waned for me. Other people's opinions just don't matter as much to me anymore, and other people who I would debate with were annoyingly closed-minded (except a few I still carry on with), so I'm not going to waste time, energy, and words putting forth trite arguments on trite matters. :\

    Argumentation has academic purposes but other than that it's nothing more than academia. Due to an objectivist or at least unified approach to perceiving reality (by the sane), there's little need to argue, except to find the 'best' way to perceive things.

    Adults in general do not wish to do this, but rather to promote their view above all others. Consequently argumentation comes off similarly to religious debate, which is difficult to accept as it lacks tact or attempts to compromise.

    That and I'm a bigot.

    I generally dislike arguing/debating because it almost never solves anything--it's extremely rare to change someone's opinion about something to match your own, if it's an issue of any merit, so generally I find it rather pointless. It can be entertaining at times.
