| Arguments- everyone's been in one, whether with friends, family, partners, even with people on forums. Some hate it, whilst others cant live a weekend without being in one(talking about punch ups in your local bar) ...so what's the worse argument you been in and how did you resolve it? Mine would be with my sister just recently, and it was all due to her boyfriend getting her drunk at a club(it doesn't sound so bad, but considering she's 16, and me being over-protective, i hit the fan). I was close to punching on with her bf, but in the end i was made out to look like the bad guy(even my gf yelled at me). |

| I don't really get into arguments because I will always win and all the people around me know this(Family wise..I don't argue with people over the internet because thats just silly)... I also don't like getting into arguments because most of the time arguments are just my opinion clashes with theirs and no matter how hard I try they are not going to change their mind and they are not going to change my mind so at the end of the day the argument would of led no where..and I dislike doing pointless things. |

| I had one just today. I was fighting for the sake of determinism with my friend. He just didn't understand it was totally predictable he was going to argue about it! There was no conclusion, bacuse we both agreed poker was 100% luck. |

| i will give every chance availble there is a point when there is nothing you can do. if they dont want to meet you half way then there no more you can do. |

| Usually talk it out. Just continuing to argue hardly ever works. Many times it comes down to Agree to Disagree. |

Normally I don't like arguments(who does), but i'm also stubborn enough to get my point across and i believe apologizing for something i shouldn't have to, just to calm an argument down is not in my nature. I've learnt from experience that ppl take advantage of you if you give in to easy...(specially girls) |
| Hmmm, I am a fair open minded person (at least I think, lol ego) so I don't usually get into anything more serious than a good fun debate with someone. If in the debate, the other person gets pissed off and it starts to turn into an argument, I usually say something random and unexpected, and often funny (I hope) to diffuse the situation and get him or her to calm the hell down. That is what I try to do at least... But every so often I come across a guy that just rubs me the wrong way, and then arguments, and fights happen. I usually try to avoid him or her after that. |

| lol at this thread's perfect timing I can get in debates but I rarely get angry at people. If I do manage to get angry at someone in or out of a debate, I can't stay that way for more than a few hours. I just think through why they feel a certain way or why I feel a certain way and say to myself "Oh okay, that makes sense" and drop any harsh feelings. Debates are still really fun if neither party can get emotionally involved. It's like mental chess |

I also dislike people who live in fear. granted somtimes its fear can be healthy its a survival instinct but to lock yourself in it is just an abohorent act i will lose pity for you after a time if you dont even try to change. but meh. |

Sometimes you just want to get over with some stupid argument and the only way you can think of doing that is by taking all the blame. Yes, people do take advantage of you, but to me that's all right as long as the person involved is someone important to me. This is pretty much my answer, but minus the "people I care about" because generally at days end, that's mainly myself. But in arguments, if I stop caring, or the other argument is retarded, I'll just say what they wanna hear, praise their superior intellect, and end the argument. I see no point in continuing to do anything I don't want to, and this includes an argument or debate. |

| I'm from the south so I've never had a problem with an altercation getting physical. No better way to resolve conflict than a good ole fist fight imo. |
