Arguing

[JSH]

I did not really want to start a new thread on this, but i can not see what to do. Now I have a reputation of being somewhat eloquent but also of arguing a lot. In some cases this is a good thing, but I do put people off and annoy others, especially my friends by always contending what others say and dragging the teacher away from the lesson.

Now here is my question:
Do you find that people who argue annoy you and therefore would people recommend that i argue less or continue to argue (sometimes just for the fun of it). Now i don't really care what other people think (in the real world) but i do not know whether i need to aggravate everyone needlessly.

Stop talking back to your teachers. I don't care if you're right or they are dumb, it is disrespectful. Suck it up and be a man. As for arguing with everyone, is it really necessary to wanna be right all the time?

Why the hell would you want to irritate people?? Are you really that stupid?? Just stop, the world doesnt need all of your opinions and you DONT always have to be right and have the last word.

Sometimes you just have to tell some teachers to shut the fvck up.

People who argue needlessly annoy the hell out of me. The idea is to get along with everybody.

I do not argue needlessly (well there might be a need that no one has noticed), i just want to support my opinions and views. So you are all suggesting that i should take the challenges 'like a man' and shut up, although a man wouldnt take it. Im confused.

You don't need to reply with anything"nasty" just shrug, say "whatever" and walk away, winds people up more than any arguement can.

A lot of it depends on how often, and what, you argue. Obviously, if you're in a philosophy class, argue till you're blue in the face. Otherwise, pick your battles.

If you are argueing A LOT, then you need to stop. you need to realize that no one cares what you think.

I'm adding space here because that is a very important thing to learn.

No one cares what you think.

That's just the truth. If you actually ARE intelligent and can argue effectively, don't do it ALL THE TIME. I can argue circles around my friends, but I only do it once in a blue moon. SINCE I do it seldomly, and never without being prompted, it has earned me respect.

Just remember man, you got nothing to prove.
