Who doesn’t want to be right? Have the last word? Be the meanest and sharpest and smartest with their words? Be victorious! Not feeling it? Argument is usually corrosive to healthy relationships, and here are six reasons why you never need to win one: http://mindfulconstruct.com/2009/09/24/6-reasons-why-you-never-need-to-win-an-argument/ 1) You can never technically “win”. 2) Arguing perpetuates conflict. 3) The legal system is based on arbitration. 4) No one can argue against feelings. 5) No one can argue against needs. 6) Trying to control another person’s opinion oversteps both their boundaries and yours. « Last Edit: 2012-12-27 07:22:54 by MoEnzyme » Report to moderator   Logged I will fight your gods for food, Mo Enzyme (consolidation of handles: Jake Sapiens; memelab; logicnazi; Loki; Every1Hz; and Shadow) MoEnzyme Acolyte Gender: Posts: 2256 Reputation: 4.54 Rate MoEnzyme infidel lab animal Re:6 Reasons Why You Never Need to Win an Argument « Reply #1 on: 2010-06-17 12:27:47 » I think this article is good on the argument=war meme metaphor. There are of course other ways to argue, but overcoming that meme is a high priority for civilized discourse, and some people never do get over it so its a good reminder to the rest of us who must continue to interact with them. -Mo Report to moderator   Logged I will fight your gods for food, Mo Enzyme (consolidation of handles: Jake Sapiens; memelab; logicnazi; Loki; Every1Hz; and Shadow) MoEnzyme Acolyte Gender: Posts: 2256 Reputation: 4.54 Rate MoEnzyme infidel lab animal Re:6 Reasons Why You Never Need to Win an Argument « Reply #2 on: 2010-06-17 17:28:54 » Quote from: Fritz on 2010-06-17 16:40:18          Re:6 Reasons Why You Never Need to Win an Argument « Reply #1 on: Today at 12:27:47 »    Reply with quote I think this article is good on the argument=war meme metaphor.
