Argument does not mean quarrel, it means rational discussion to arrive at a conclusion. Here are some bad arguments - (1) It's the economy, stupid. (2) Read my lips. (3) Get a life. (4) Project fear. (5) It's in the Bible/Koran so it must be true. The list goes on........

Arguably two of the best books to turn to for sparking a quarrel.

I didn't really want to spark a quarrel. I just feel that there is a lot of loose language here that is not very intelligent. Mere assertions are not enough. And if they are rude or cliched, that's even worse.
It is a rarity to find rational discussions regarding issues following from premises that are inherently irrational.

Good question though//

Its not my question, nor is the OP me! You know my views so I have no reason to hide my identity with a different nic.



Question Author
mibn. I didn't understand your message. Could you clarify, please?
I've found that when someone attempts to initiate a discussion with an absurd assertion there's usually no point in so much as stating your disagreement let alone attempt to carry on a rational discussion with them. I reserve that for any others in attendance who might be rational enough to appreciate the difference.
