Think about.

I hate the idea of arguing. The idea of debating is something I like.

I state my opinion, you state yours. I state why i feel that way and you state yours.
In the end if you convince me I can change my opinion and vice versa.

With arguing it's totally different. There is no persuading the other person to see your side of view by backing up your opinion with either fact or some sort of relevant idea as to why you're right.

It's just you spouting your views onto someone. And after all the yelling and screaming or whatever, both of you will walk away frustrated with the same opinions or view that you started with. Such a waste of time and breath.

I approach disagreements totally different. I start out debating the issues with you. Once I see that you are not willing to engage in a simple debate then I just state my case and move on.

There's no need to sit here and go back and forth with you when I know and you know that once it's all said and done, I'm still going to think what I think and you'll still think what you think.

Arguing is pointless. I mean who does that? why argue just to argue? why am I going to waste my time arguing with you when I know I can't change your mind on the subject? I'm about opening people's minds to other things not just ramming my opinion down your throat.

Am I wrong for wanting to know why you feel so strongly about something anyway?
I mean if you feel like Magnum Ice Cream is better than Twin Pops than wouldn't you have some ideas to back it up? Right?

I know there are more serious and/or important issues than ice cream but I just used that as an example so you can get my drift. Plus I have the taste for some DQ mango cheesecake :)) on my brain. :P~

So once again, please don't argue with fools but rather debate with dummies all day... xP

Peace
