yeah I eat rear end posted:calmly debating isn't possible with some people. It always escalates. Like if someone in my family says to my grandfather something even mildly complimentary about Obama he instantly escalates into "what the gently caress did you just say you little poo poo" mode. If you try to keep it calm he accuses you of thinking you're smarter than him which makes him more mad. why are you talking to a person like this at all

One time out bowling my buddy's wife beat him in a close game and he swore it was because his ball didn't come back out for the final frame so he had to use a different one. If he had the ball he used all game for the final frame he would have won, he claimed. His wife didn't care but he kept this one-sided argument going for 20 minutes because his wife wouldn't say verbatim that he would have won with his ball. She ended up Ubering home by herself crying.

My other family members are more stubborn than I am about being "right" about politics and bring Obama up all the time just to antagonize him. It's actually pretty entertaining entertaining to sit on the sidelines and listen to, plus they are probably going to get written out of his will if they keep it up which means more for me.

My grampa is always trying to goad me into a political argument because we had a shouting match about capitalism once when I was seventeen and he got a kick out of it. I love him too much to yell at him about politics now which makes me the winner by default

Probably not a surprise to anyone, but law school is full of dipshits who say “I want to be a lawyer because I like to argue!” But they don’t realize that you’re ultimately supposed to zealously argue for your client’s rights, not about which loving Marvel character is problematic.

Maybe this is the place to ask, since I haven't figured out how to deal with someone who goes so extreme in an argument they decide I'm flat out calling them stupid. Like, we'll be having a perfectly rational discussion, disagree on something, and then this person will just go 'You're just calling me dumb' and I'm just floored at how infuriating that counterargument is. It's like disagreeing is a form of insult to their intelligence. Should I just let them be ashamed of themselves and leave them alone forever?

My father once tried to tell me that SPIDERS WEREN'T ANIMALS, rather than admit that I'd gotten a spider identification right and he had not. I don't even remember the logic or lack thereof. I was just kind of baffled. I can be stubborn in an argument but I like to think I won't ever reach the retarded depths of 'spiders are not animals'.
