You know what?If I'm at least logical about my arguments, why should I care what other incoherent people think.Cos what we have here, is a well-thought out argument being rebutted by a nonsensical, out-of-point statement. And if that's allowed to happen, where do we draw the line?Social Studies (and History) should've taught people not only the facts of years gone by, but also how to argue your point properly and coherently. Everything requires statements and logic and quotes and whatnot to back it up, which is how it should be in real-life arguments. It is through this way that we can see who is more believable and/or educated about the subject at hand.Alot of people don't use their brains when they argue. While they might not sink to such levels, most arguments consist of one party who's generally going 'I know you are, but what am I?'. And if you don't get that... never mind, read more books and watch more TV. You can pick up stuff like this even from cartoons (like Johnny Bravo).This post isn't very organised, I know, but I hope that at least the gist of the message gets through to most people, that being, if you want to argue a point, argue properly for fuck's sake. Don't be a rebel without a cause.This quote just about sums up what I feel alot of the time when I see disagreements (with me or not):"What we've got here is... failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men." - Cool Hand Luke, 1967.
