Are you the type that will argue with a lamp post??? I know I am...it's a Texas thang laugh

At what point do you realize that it doesn't do any good? Or do you realize it?

I try to control my arugmentative gene, all it does is stress me out and escalate the situation

I will engage in a discussion if I have an opinion. I usually realize I can’t change someone’s mind; however, as long as my point is considered – or I am at least heard – then I will debate for the sake of education. I also learn from other people’s opinions.

If my platform is falling upon deaf ears or the audience is completely obtuse to another point of view – then I cut out very quickly. It’s insanity to argue for the sake of arguing.

Being LOUDER doesn’t mean a person is right either. laugh

No, but I once argued with a telephone pole. And then there was that utility box....

I use to try and convince a brick wall it had empathy, but I have since learned to stop. It is very healty to let go of such behaviors.

Now I just use the wall for banging my head against, like it was meant to be. frustrated

I argue until the lamp post gives up and admits I'm right! I've even been known to threaten to knock his lights out if he doesn't just acquiesce. bigsmile laugh

A mule chastised me once... "And they say we're stubborn!" were his exact words. shades

Exactly. IF and only if I have something to contribute to the conversation/ debate. If you want to argue with me about rocket fuel then I would be the lamp post. tongue2

Ho I will walk away when I feel like I am talking to the wind. I can engage rather quickly and disengage just as quickly.

I have felt that I may not be right and yet I have a right to what I feel and think. Vice a Versa with another person.

Sometime I will engage a debate just for the sake of a debate.
