I personally love arguing. I don't know why, and I'm not an aggressive person at all, but I love a good argument. I love the challenge, the passion, the complexity, and the mental workout that goes into it. And of course I love to win, but a good debate teaches me a lot about the subject, about the person/people I'm arguing with, and sometimes even about human nature, whether I'm right or wrong. Now I don't really like confrontation and I'm very careful if I think it can lead to a problem, but it's very refreshing to fight relentlessly trying to defend your opinions, and it can be a great bonding experience between people.

What about you guys?

One day you might realize that winning a debate or an argument is not everything.

We all live in the states of our mind ...

It's not about winning.

I don't enjoy it. Not at all actually. I suppose it is one reason I am not a litigator. Though I hate "crimes against logic" and if I detect one, I feel bound to correct it and if I have to defend the truth, then well, I'll do it.

We're checking this site and contributing our thoughts....often trying to clarify and argue over details with other people. Who here doesn't like a good debate? Even the ones where "fanboy" is exclaimed

Yeah you know you're crazy when you start even using underlining in your arguments. No one ever uses underlining!
