I think I have figured out him and I argue so much.


DrMario, my style of usually writing to get my point across is to argue. I argue my points, when aruging I type so fast I sometimes don't see and/or type the wrong thing, therefore, since they point that put, I need to argue even more to defend that. More often than not, nobody really wins from this.

Cownip, beacause of my arguing style, Cownip here has to defend his posts beacause I always try to find something wrong with people's posts. Now Cownip is more careful with his posts (or so I think) so making it harder to find something wrong and arguing something that is way out of line in the topic.

Vicious cycle actually.


I was bored and relized how much we actually argue.

And I hope you all know that these are friendly arguements (or atleast I hope so)

And I am not portraying my arguing posting as a bad thing, it's just how I get my points across really.

What do you think on this Cownip, fairly accurate? (It'd better be, it's harding typing with my broken finger)

Well, It's a little more then that. I think its just that for some reason, we always believe the oppisite. Now I think I've gotten better because I've realized something about making an argument. You can't win if you don't acknowladge the other side. I try to find something in your argument that I agree with, and I give in to that, saying your right, but.... And make my point. You don't convince anyone without giving any ground up, because people will get offended and annoyed. I used to be much more agressive in arguing with you and never recognized the good points in your argument, and that's why things have gotten better.

Now I am natrually stubborn, hence part of my reasoning to argue so much. I also like arguing about baseball haha. But yes, I do have trouble letting things go in arguments. I've held back a few things and I've gotten better haha, but not quite there yet.

Baseball's meant to be argued though, we are supposed to argue whose players what teams are better. It's supposed to be argued.


I am pretty stubborn myself. I have tried to find good in arguments but I don't know...

A few people? Haha, I wonder who one of those "few people" might be? (Cough Cough, Jackson, Cough Cough). I don't think this was an argument mate. Actually, I'd say it's the opposite.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has it's own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of the mystery everyday. Never lose a holy curiousity

I don't think we argue beacause of the team's we like. That probably isn't nearly the reason.

And I also agree that this isn't going to turn into an arguement.
