    Hail Fellow members of the KAG community.
    I have come before you today to explain the so-called act of Argumentation.
    ~--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------~
    Now we are all aware of rule 77(which is something i just make up :D) which states that...
    ALL Actions of any kind, have a Good and Bad, Right and Wrong side to them.

    Now, Argumentation comes in MANY forms, such as "Whos right, Whos wrong,"
    "Is this a good idea?" or actions that come from lies and false truth(not knowing what you're talking about) or plainly the internet bane that is Trolls.

    Now the Larger form of Argumentation comes from two people and or groups.
    The smaller form of Argumentation comes from three or more people and or groups.
    Why is this you ask? Well for most people it takes an outsider's opinion to break a so called "Tie"
    in a conversation, which of course may or may not be right about the subject, so for those many few that continue to argue, require cooperation to judge if an action is Right or Wrong, Good or Bad.

    Each person takes their turn saying what they think is right about their action, then each person takes their turn saying what is wrong with the others action and like them up, then both people must think about how their actions will effect Others, Themselves, and the Objects around them.

    End the end it requires...
    One, a good and well mind.
    Two, good social skills.
    And three, a will to do whats right.

    I can guarantee you, this information will make your life so much easier, thank you for reading.

    Oh god Contrary, I lol'ed heartily. I think what he means to say is...:

    Arguing is something that we all do, but if you think about it, it's very harmful and generally ineffective.
    In most cases where people argue, they're fighting for their view. They aren't trying to look at the issue for a neutral standpoint: they're biased, and it really hurts their credibility. It's just two opinions hitting against each other.

    WHEREAS:

    Conversations or discussions are a way to share and exchange opinions, without being shot down, attacked or otherwise. Instead, the calm and compliant situation leads to better understanding of an issue as a whole, as well as a quicker path to a consensus.

    ...And I'd say I agree.

    First day of KAG i got into an argument with what had to be someone new to the game, complaining that barricades were ruining the game and he kept dying and whining about BOTH teams. Since theirs no 'barricade' building, i asked him to be specific, because walls/spikes/bridges/doors/pits can all be considered 'barricades', so it sounded like he was whining about the builder class itself lol. All he really did was swear at me and tell me to learn english, i kept asking him to clarify ANYTHING and got nothing out of him but some more swearing and 'go wiki it moron' and a rage quit. I was pleased to find that the wiki totally agreed with my definition :D

    Humans are programmed to argue not to spread truth, but to win. Ignore the facts, you must have dominance!
    Psychology!

    You read Cracked? Was only last week i think, an article talking about how argumentation was NEVER meant to convince people of truth or logic, but was more about dominance over other people, because people think more emotionally than logically over arguments. My catapult does my talking now.

    Yes, arguing is not needed, it is a defect of social activity.
    But it will help your word get through one's thick head.

    SO what we are witnessing so far on this topic is more of an argument or a discussion from the other Posters? SirZergling you are a poet and a scholar for your efforts here and thank you Carver for your decpihering (basically where i am understanding Sir's statement haha)
