The best way to end an argument (and to win)

[Bbbananas]

(a) Smack them in the gob
(b) Walk away muttering muffled obscenities
(c) Holding your hand up, and calmly stating "I do not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it". (Then flicking a 'v' sign at them when their mystified stunned-into-silence back has turned..)

I resisted (a), am fed up with doing (b), went for (c) and now feel quite superior. :-)

[ummmm]

(a)

[ummmm]

Joking......The way we argue is so basic. He annoys me, I storm out, he comes to try and talk to me and I tell him to F off. He goes to bed and we get up the next day and laugh about it. Same everytime :-)

[Sqad]

d) make love to them......heterosexual....nati=urally.

[China Doll]

D) Make love not war.

(This is quite a selective option I use though).

[sn�gs]

e) Cake.

[Bbbananas]

... but china & sqad - this is a female work colleague.

Should I have snogged her, offered to sh@g her?
Nah.

Every argument and its circumstances are different so should'nt we judge each argument differently instead of trying to make a global protocol???

I normally just say " Im right , you know im right , and endless hours of debate and arguing will not shift me from my position and opinion"


Usually they look at me , frown, then aknowledge lifes too short to waste any time arguing with one a stubborn as me.


I love it when a plan comes together : o)

[Bbbananas]

Though I will bear that in mind if I have an argument with Keith...... :-)

[funnygirl]

b for me :-(

But I won't let the matter drop, I am very persistent.

I resisted (a), am fed up with doing (b), went for (c) and now feel quite superior. :-)

That sound really childish,so you walked awy muttering obcenities like you did'nt beleive in your argument enough to stand your ground.....
then...Held your hand up, and calmly stated "I do not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it". (Then flicked a 'v' sign at them when their mystified stunned-into-silence back was turned..)


JEEZ,HOW OLD ARE YOU 5?

and now feel quite superior. :-)

Everyone hates smugness..............

[Bbbananas]

Kojak - it was a joke ffs.

The quote is from Voltaire (& the person I was bantering with would have been aware of that), the argument was fairly lighthearted and we are now laughing together.

I just wanted to post something meaningless & semi-humorous cos my sqadlet said CB was getting boring. :-)

[Bbbananas]

...and you know how old I am,,, cos I've just twigged who you are.

[KrazyKojak]

ER......ok then....

[China Doll]

I'm going to go with a little of option (d) and a little of option (e) thus far... I'm hoping I can get some coffee with the cake though.

[Bbbananas]

I could be wrong (yes, I am sometimes....) but I'm guessing you're No-Know in disguise.

I'm guessing that because that irritating but loveable tw@t also likes to wind me up and put me down.

No No-Know? Ok. I'm 47.

[ummmm]

Who is it then Salla?

[KrazyKojak]

lol,you have more brains then i gave you creditit for salla!

[ummmm]

NoK....I was disliking you then. All is forgiven now :-)

[Bbbananas]

That's a backhanded compliment if ever I heard one :-)
