ever wondered about why people argue a lot on here and anywhere else for that matter? this (for the most part) is why.

anyways, just thought this was interesting and could give some insight to why people might try to oppose your facts and opinions so often.

Sometimes it's just fun to argue even when I agree.

Also reminds of why people break things when they're angry, it's usually because that's one thing they can control, and they're mad due to things they can't control.

true also people who are violent towards other people when they argue. they're looking for that feeling of being in control.

I also see it as insecurity, they need to prove themselves right to others and show THAT THEY'RE FUCKIN ALPHA

i definitely agree with that. i was thinking more along the lines of domestic violence. that is definitely a situation where one person is trying to control the situation with violence.

Oh for sure. Not that it was domestic violence but growing up my dad was that way, where no matter the situation it always had to be his opinion, last word, that he was correct, etc. to the very end.

like yeah i mean i can see why you would think that since that's what everyone is saying. but there are definitely real fights on ns about junk like religion and politics because people have opposing view points and opposing view points usually stem from the things explained in the picture i posted.
