ARGUMENTS....Are you any GOOD at them?

I haven't had a shouting argument since I was small and argued with my brother! Like you, I don't argue to win but just to make my point. Loud arguments are so counterproductive and I don't want to be involved in one. I will state my opinion and try to back it up with facts and that is a discussion. When it turns into an argument, I leave!

Do not argue with someone who is emotional. Do not argue with someone who is known for not being a sporting person-meaning he is a bad loser.You can only argue forth your points when the other party is calm and collected and ready to listen to your viewpoints which may differ from his. Do not argue with an immature person.Most of all,do not get into an argument with a violent person. He may just beat you up physically.

On the whole, I try to avoid them, when I do get into one, I will try to only resort to screaming to make a point, the the point where I scream, I leave

I tend to clam up and not say what I'm thinking, or not think what I really needed to say until later. But I am also one who states things calmly and tries to be logical about things. I'm not a yeller unless somebody really gets to me...

Are ya kidding not get the last word in lol
lots of times I have had to stomp off for it was all planned just to get me going and hubby was a great adjetator lol

I usually say what I need to and then hole up in another room. Doesn't make for a long argument but We gotta let others know what we won't do or take. I don't stay mad for long though it blows over faster more times then not.

I don't have that many arguments with people. I guess most of my arguments are with the hubby. Now when comes to those I usually argue to make a point. I will have to say that most arguments are because he hasn't done something. I also dont always have the last word. I think he likes to have the last word. I have to let him think that he has won the argument. HHAAHA

No Hiccups, this would not do. Have you imagined all Ganghi? I would rather argue with valid points until I can establish that what I have learnt and know is the right thing.

All are not same your walking away might not have any effect on one who is beyond humanity. What would you do with him?

I remain calm and quiet and bide my time and then I skewer the culprit with finely hewed words. What is fair? If someone is acting an idiot, they deserve an occasional under-the-belt repartee. Eh?

Hi hiccup - one thing nice about virtual friends is they cannot ruin ur social life in real life so u can afford to be as honest as u want to be:-) So u c I am going to be honest. I do argue. I do make a point as u said - most of the time. Ratio would be 90 times, 10 times no. The 10 times I side the wrong knowing fully well I am wrong is when I dont like the person opposite me.:-) And this is as honest as it can get. Dont ask me whom I dont like. I do have a few friends in ur country who have friends back home. So I wont take that risk.:-)
