This is my first visit here, but I will be back soon, because I really like the way you are writing, it is so simple and honest

@nick Yea I know the type of person you describing. But what I’m saying here is why we think that we are right even when we are not? Hehe

What’s the point of being Always Right when everyone hates you?

I used to work in a Finance institution and there was this young Executive, whom was also my Superior, who knew everything there is to Bank & Finance Law & Management. He had all the answers and when someone argued with him be it company rules to best toilet rolls in the market, he is always right and would always win the argument.

But sadly, no one likes him and he usually lunches by himself. =(

@isaac I guess that’s what julian calls argue to understand? lol

Same here. I argue about almost anything but sometimes i just wonder that maybe it’s just that i always seems to have something to say about any matter that people think that i never want to agree. At least i give an opinion not because i want to win or that i’m right but because i just have to get those idea in my head out. But yeah, there are times when all you need is to shut up. ;-D

@Julian: Yeah right.

I agree that confirmation bias makes 99% arguments that I’ve been into pointless. Just because I can’t prove that your POV is wrong, doesn’t mean that you are right.

It’s only right to that extent and if only all the ‘ideal’ conditions actually took place.

And somethings just aren’t meant to be arguments because there’s no right or wrong answers.

This is very true, especially with the recent iPad debate we had. Hahaha. But it’s fun to put conflicting views on the table & see how far it goes.

I don’t like people that argue to win. I argue to “understand”, but when there are emos, narcissits and pussy whips, they tend to think other wise.

I rather hear a “new & efficient” idea then to have people agree to everything.

I like the whole having all the information to your advantage kinda thing but when you’re all pissy, it tends to change to something rather drastic. Like, not thinking with your mind but your emotion ;P
