<div class="IPBDescription">...movies, books, interests, etc?</div> gee, so i was talking with my ex about hitchhiker the movie
we're like almost fighting at the end........
somehow we just cant seem to agree on whether the movie ruined the book or the book ruined the movie
and i thought i was a pretty nice-going guy, but M3G4T0N! i dont think the discussion should be nearly as heated as its only a FRIGGING MOVIE

the same thing happened when we discuss books, and starwars III

hummmmm, so what about you? is there any1 specific that you always argue with? or jus about everyone..

    The only way to end that argument appropriately is for you to grab the complete Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series in hardcover and slam it into the faces of all who stand in your way.

    Do not state your purpose or what your arguing about...just keep slamming faces until the world becomes a blur of torn, blood stained pages and sweet death finds you from the barrel of a State Trooper's pistol.

    Family members, definitely. Any conversation where there is a disagreement ends up becoming overly personal, and me on the defensive. The normal breakdown is that my mother and I agree (perhaps only partially), and my two siblings and father disagree with me. Because my mother doesn't want to contradict my dad, I usually end up mostly alone, with the most vocal part of the family rallying against me. I end up on the defensive. In cases where I present an article to the family to find out what they think about the issue, they often end up believing that what the article said is what I believe, and attack me about why I think what I think, even if I don't think that way.

    The only safe conversations are when my opinion/conviction/feeling/whatever agrees with theirs. However, since the only conversations that work between my family and myself are those in which we agree, I rarely bring things up, because it gets boring talking to the choir.

    I've just started getting used to keeping my mouth shut about things these days. They've stopped asking me, because they won't like what I say, and I've stopped offering it. Works out better that way for everyone.

    Hmmm not really. All everyone has ever got from me was a 'Meh' or 'Huh?' response. Other times I just really keep my mouth shut =X

    Some people just like to debate. I like to debate but only if the other person is game. If they start getting huffy I back off. But if they are game, well then I could debate for a good long time! I never get angry when I debate because I'm a cheerful debater; I'm always laughing. Unless they start insulting me, like calling me a big poopy head or something. At that point they aren't really debating anymore, they are just being mean, and I don't debate with mean people.

    That's the sign to start reading a prepared 30 minute speech on the issue, or perhaps write them a letter.

    I like arguing about movies. In fact I like arguing full stop. When my brother says something I argue even if I don't agree with what I'm saying, but only because he gets so worked up - its quite amusing really. He ends up shouting or saying "cut your hair, you girl!" because he is a fool and I am always right. Always.

    Debating is always better if you are capable of emitting a high pitched squeal that can liquefy the organs of your opponent.

    I’ve tried several times to no avail...although not many people want to debate with me anymore so I guess it served its purpose.
