War

arguing over the internet is like playing in the special olympics, Even if you win you're still retarded.

Dungeons and Dragons Famous Last Words:
"C'mon DM,let's see some REAL monsters!" And then you turn the corner as the Dungeon Master chuckles... DM: "It hits and... Oh hold on... I need more dice"

Arguing is futile face-to-face as well. What's the point, to change the opinion of another (set-in-their-way) adult? I have yet to see a winner in an arguement at anytime. I do definitely agree with you, especially in the case of an internet flame war.

Hello?

I have a photoshopp that goes with that line. You've obviously seen it.

And yes. It's true.

jc14all: No. There are some "adults" which are open minded enough to either change, or compromise.

Seriously here. Does the name "Yitzak Rabin" ring a bell with anyone?

It is kind of sad, to think about the existence of argumentative discussions, or debates.
I say this because, although the theoretical outcome they have you beleive is that your goal is to change another one's mind.
Sadly, just how many debates do end like this?
It does prove at the same time, that there are a lot who are close-minded, especially in a case where you are right.
Then there are those where you probably can never extract an answer out of, so why even debate it?
Things like "the death penalty" or "censorship". There's simply no way to convince one of x side in these, as their beleifs are much different. It's a topic this year which has me left with a dry mouth on debating.

There is nothing wrong with taking a defense against a personal belief as long as during debate the persuasion does not backfire into a personal attack peppered with name calling and aggressive behavior.

Mature reasoning has a limit. Whenever that limit is reached the matter can be resolved by lot, or so to speak, by vote. This is in regard to matters of governing the masses, but at the personal level mature reasoning does not end a friendship, but it may stifle a relationship without the bitterness.

I know passions run deep, but strength of character is developed by a process of controlling one's ownself through knowing when to speak and when to hold the tongue without allowing the tongue ruling their life. Self-control, patience, discipline, and respect are essential element needed in debates. Unfortunately, when these are absent, debate becomes bitter and resentful. Wars are started from within the heart and mind of wreckless self-centered humanity.

"Have you ever known of a good war/a bad peace? "

Hmmmmmm.

There were like, these 30 housewives in Kenya or something that stormed (literally) the local police station a few years back.

They demanded either the cops jail all of their husbands (who got drunk at the local pub after work), or the cops make love to every single housewife. I dunno how many cops there were, but I'm thinkin the girls outnumbered them 3 to 1. Needless to say, it would have been wikked.

Anyways, I dunno how it ended up. Probably some tear gas.



As for the other:

I used to start these huge debates here if you all remember. I brought up all kinds of stuff from the Indians, Israeli and Palestinian situation, to World War 2, and maybe even the retarded American thread as of late. I don't think we accomplished anything. It was fun though. Nonetheless, one side thinks one thing, and the other something else. I don't think anyone ever changed their mind. Ever....

If I remember correctly you got into a huge debate about your religious beliefs and got no where.

Lets not even start on AMD vs Intel.

It's very difficult to have a constructive debate. We try, but it's hard. Once it gets into an argument though, it's tough to get back to a constructive debate if not impossible.

Look at the .9r=1 debate. That thread will never die. I don't know if there can ever be any constructive debate again, only argument.

How's it going with the gigolo name. Have you passed 10k yet?

Unfortunatly guys this is my case. I try to prove to my physics teacher I may be right about my exam question and that I deserve the extra point for an unclear or unrestrictive question. I used my method to get the same result as others, but our teacher is hard headed, so it takes over the entire class and a french teacher to prove him to change his mind, and that was once succesful for the previous exam, not the last one where I was alone in this fight.
I might post the scanned image of the question so you might see why I think I am right.
Granted, everyone's like: Oh you got 85, don't tell me you're not satisfied?

I tell them it's not about the extra 2%, it's about principle and right.
Sadly indeed, you cannot win arguments when people don't listen. It's even more annoying as this is always the case with us teens or even kids. We can be right but adults will never listen, except some...

Never argue with an imbecile. they'll drag you down to their level, and beat you with experience.

Thats true, except in how one defines the difference between knowledge and wisdom.

As far as knowledge, I agree with you.

A servey was done to see what varios age groups have recently learned.

A 3 yr old " I learned that the stove is hot, and its better not to touch it"

A 5 yr old " I've learned that if you dont feed the fish, they will die"

A 13 yr old " I've learned that Gagarin was the first person to walk the moon"

A 17 yr old " I've learend that love hurts"

A 27 yr old " I've learned that my kids are making my mistakes! "

A 45 yr old " I've learned that money doest bring happines"

A 99 yr old " I've learned that I still have a lot to learn"

A little off-topic but that sig made me wondering.

Yes, but then I start to wonder what is wrong with the mom.
