I can not take this anymore.
I am going to quote a book here, its a long one and I need to type it. I'm not happy about it-but someone must end this, before it expands.
'I don't believe in argument'
'You don't? S**t, and I thought I was the cynical one.'
'It's not cynisim, I just think people over-value argument because they like to hear themselves talk. It's comferting I suppose. Most people are not prepared to have thier minds changed, and I think that in thier hearts they know that other people are just the same, and one of the reasons people become angry when they argue uts that they realise just that, as they trot out thier excuses.'
[other dude interupts]
'Yes, excuses, I strongle suspect the things people believe in are usually what they insticntlivly feel is right' the excuses, the justification, the things you're supposed to argue about, come late. They're the least important part of the belief. That's why you can destroy them, win an argument, prove the other person wrong, and still believe what they did in the first place.'
'So what does one do instead proffesor?'
'Agree to disagree. Or fight.'
'FIGHT?'
'what else is left?'
Negotiat?'
'Negotiation is the way to come to a conclusion; it's the type of conclusion I'm talking about.'
Severly annotated, but I think you get my message, oh and guess the author.
