How to start an argument on SW:

Person A: *shares an opinion*
Person B: *replies with rebuttal*
Person A: *disagrees and ridicules B*
Person B: "OH IT'S ON!!!!"
Person C: *picks sides*

That'll do it, but damn near anything has the potential to start an argument. Of course you can end it by walking away and not engaging with those who are being argumentative. I've also found that humor can sometimes defuse tensions and bring an argument to an end, but you have to know how to finesse it.

@Rutterman but not together... 🤨
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@Yulianna Lol. No, that sort of multitasking is not advised.
Yulianna · 22-25, F

It’s a two-way tie:
1. Say something positive about Donald Trump.
1. Say something negative about Donald Trump.
Yulianna · 22-25, F
@SW-User yes... i was joking 🙂
SW-User
@SW-User oooh, that's like throwing gasoline on your barbeque grill, sure it'll get your food done but you may not like it 😂
@SW-User that works.
ozgirl512 · 26-30, F
I find with some, a different opinion is often enough lol
SW-User
@ozgirl512 😂 True
SW-User
Yep, or just contradict them in any way. If they believe they're known it all people, you won't get rid of them easily.. So you better walk away. 😁
SW-User
@SW-User I agree it can be entertaining. People realize then that one isn't that nice haha
SW-User
@SW-User 😆 Honestly though don't be like me. Walking away will always be a better solution

@samanthasmokes 😂 There'll be a script at your disposal to tell you what's been going on for the past 8 hours of arguing.

@SW-User Thank you! I love having a huge bunch of paper! At home, we made pulp paper bricks and logs for the fireplaces and fire pits. It was one of the summer projects my mom had us do ... and it was fun!
Unfortunately, the art of civil debate is not one that comes easily to some social media users (or journalists or politicians for that matter).

Fragile egos see debate or disagreement as personal attack, and of course themselves go straight into personal attacks.

I’m astonished at how fragile some people are at being politely challenged.
SW-User
@LukeTheDuke Well when people are on an anonymous website like this, they feel an advantage to unleash whatever they want to say and still get away with it.

You don't even have to try. Just air an opinion not accepted by the masses(massholes? lol), and you will be verbally chastised.

The rule is:
"You do not think the way I do. THAT MAKES YOU BAD!!!! YOU SHOULD DIE A MISERABLE, HORRIBLE, FIERY DEATH".

If both persons have enough intelligence to disagree and showcase their reason for disagreement then that's the very definition of public discourse.

Otherwise if one person acts classless the other can use the same method.

Problems only result from seriously wrong thinking becomes a crowd thought and the person acts like a pissedoff donkey.
SW-User
@SteelHands That's pretty the entire picture of a typical argument on SW

the trouble is nowadays, especially with social media is that an opinion is often considered fact..people can't handle others having a different opinion which also isn't fact..then they argue.
I think this is a fact
Probably.
SW-User
@SW-User That's a sad fact

I don't like seeing the arguments!
SW-User
@Dusty101 I don't think anyone does. It just exists and we have to deal with it sometimes 🤦‍♀️
Dusty101 · F
@SW-User I feel reduced to saying nothing most of the time!
As i find there's plenty of argumentative people even when I agree with them!
Strange folk!
SW-User
@Dusty101 🤔 You're right. Some people just want to argue for the sake of arguing
