I am not a debater definitely. I will easily giving in as me and my friends often enter into a debate, a friendly debate we thought it gonna be the starting point. After some series of disagreement, my friend probably would turn his face red, and starting to get mad at some point. Or maybe he would sarcasm at me with every angle. So, start from a friendly debate, I would know the end result will be if we both holding our stronghold. Sometimes, for a trivial disagreement, I would rather giving in, and orally concede. I just don't want to hurt our friendship on that.
Would you easily get mad during a debate if you can't convince the other side that you are right?

Oh me? I go on and on. My husband and I, before he could no longer talk, would have discussions on things and since I am a bit on the stubborn side, I will not let go. We usually just got tired out and changed the subject. He did tell me that his younger brother was sort of an atheist in that he was trying to prove that God did not exist and the trouble was that his younger brother was a skillful orator -and the only one who could beat him at his game was a minister or someone who could quote the bible backwards and forwards. Ordinary people did not stand a chance.

I'm not a debater too. I don't like to force others to accept my mind, likewise, I hate others force me to accept their opinion.
But there are really some times, my mood got working and I was involved into debate. But after calming down, I found I did nonsense and regretted. Nowadays, I try my best to control my temper.
