My name is Crystal and I am an arguaholic

Hello Crystal, welcome to arguaholics anonymous. (Couldn’t help it, haha)

You’ve come to the right place, although there are many close minded people here too there is lots of wisdom to be found and shared and arguments to be had.

I look forward to reading your stuff

Manimal: Am loving these arguements..haha
Crystal:Welcome..be assured u will have some company here on that one!;)

Good to have you Crystal, Welcome ;) I have to ask.. are you about to make out with a roasted pig in your avatar?

Well, let me introduce myself and you have “officially” met someone smart. :D

Nice to have you here, and i home we will have some good and productive conversations. :)

Hi Crystal, here there are plenty of people who love to argue but most of the time we keep it very nice at the same time. I’m sure you’ll fit right in!

Nothing wrong with argument mate. Keep an open mind about that :D

Argument in discussion is as follows:

“In philosophy and logic, an argument is an attempt to persuade someone of something, by giving reasons or evidence for accepting a particular conclusion.[1][2] The general structure of an argument in a natural language is that of premises (typically in the form of propositions, statements or sentences) in support of a claim: the conclusion.[3][4][5] Many arguments can also be formulated in a formal language. An argument in a formal language shows the logical form of the natural language arguments obtained by its interpretations.”

Arguments between couples or friends are more accurately described as fights not arguments.

Consider the tradition of Tibetan Monks:

According to the Tibetan Monks, Debating is their integral part of
religious practice. One of the striking features of Tibetan debates
is that they are quite physical. They are marked by emphatic
gestures, such as the clapping used by the questioner to punctuate
each question.

Tibetan debate involves prescribed modes of behavior. The debate
starts, with a ritual invocation of Manjushri in a loud and high-
pitched tone. The debater then puts his questions in a very low
voice barely audible to the audience.

The Tibetan tradition is quite aware of the dangers of debate but
sees them as counterbalanced by its benefits. Because debates are
intensely physical, participants can give vent to considerable
energy.

Tibetan scholars love debate for their internal clarity. They become
excited when they talk about it and miss it once their training is
finished. Older scholars often advise students to savor their times
as debaters: “This is the best time in the life of a scholar. After
this, all fades in comparison.”

They get heated, they get crazy but it feeds the intellectual soul and gives you more certainty or doubt such as is appropriate.

@ Crystral , Yes.

But jokingly… was on the endless why person topic… look it up sometime ;)

Peace

@Crystal I totally agree about debates helping others see different point of views. I just like civilized ones; not ones where ignorance takes over and people say things that are untrue and hurtful =)

@Peter that is really interesting! but to most people (imo, doesn’t mean its true) they equate the word “argument” to “fight” because as you said with the Tibetan Monks arguments can get really heated, but i believe that on this website were trying to stay in a more peaceful and agreeable state. The word “debate” is pretty much exactly the same as “argument” but most people (imo. doesn’t mean its true) equate debate to a more civilized kind of argument where things don’t get too out of hand. That’s all i really meant by my statement =)

Word.
