Don't raise your voice, call names or make accusations.  Don't try to be right all the time and don't try to solve problems all by yourself.  Take your partner's suggestions and compromise whenever possible.  I am a female.

It's a sad state of today's society that few people truly understand how to properly debate a topic.  \n\nTake a look at this thread,\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=Asw2jMjFL4LB6c3iJDZYVNcjzKIX?qid=1006020307384\n\nThe questioner, and her teacher(!), seem to think that she has an actual, valid argument.  Many of the answerers really have no clue how to respond.\n\nThere really is an art to true debate - defining an argument, making statements, rebuttals, affirmations, reaffirmations, etc.  I think it should be taught as a mandatory subject instead of being relagated to the geek squad/debate team.\n\nThe number of logical fallacies that you can trip over in normal conversation these days is amazing.  Ad Hominem attacks are quite prevalent.  For instance, a common question on YA currently is 'should an Arab country have ownership of some American ports?'  Most answers take the simple approach, "Bush is bad, therefore any stance of his is bad."  You may not agree with my answers to this, but I would think that a better counter argument could be produced.  Sadly, it doesn't occur too often.\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmRTc1Ys0qijjTzxFexYnXvsy6IX?qid=1006022108438

Keep talking about it. Don't linger on the bad moods. If you focus on bad things only then all the good things are crap. When you argue don't use the word YOU. Bring up that the situation is wrong and not the person you are talking to. You spent all the money= NO. The situation of being penniless upsets me. Let's figure out ways to save some money=YES.

There are two general ways of responding to an argument you disagree with: providing your own counter argument, or trying to silence the person, shut the argument down. In my experience, people tend to resort to the latter when they lack the eloquence or ideological consistency to develop their own rational argument. It's basically a panic reaction of being unable to defend their own position, but refusing to either admit this to themselves, or engage with the alternative point of view. Personally, I think that if you have a strong and consistent argument, it would be able to "defeat" alternative points of view purely through the strategy of confrontation and argumentation.\n\nSo if I were you, I would take the removal as a compliment. It means you've asked a question they can't answer!

Yeah, that gets annoying. I'm the type of argumentative a** that will always fire something back to make them realize how stupid of a statement they have just made. Try something like this:\n\nGirl: "All men are assholes"\nGuy: "Well I guess that means that all straight women are stupid, because why else would they be with or want to be with an asshole?"\nGirl: "We don't want to be with an asshole, we want to be with a nice guy"\nGuy: "Well then you have either just admitted that there are nice guys, making your previous statement false, or you have just admitted that you want to be with a guy that you know doesn't exist, which is ridiculous, and only suggests stupidity"\nGirl: "You're an asshole"\nGuy: "That may be true, but I'm right...and thats all that matters"\n\nWarning: This approach will certainly not get you laid....but it is funny, and it will point out the fact that she is wrong to make such a statement.

arguments are arguments. I've had many in my 6 years. The bigger person (stronger) needs to step up and patch things up...FAST! the last thing you want is a argument to carry on for too long. That will cause a ripple effect and cause serious damage to a relationship. After things are patched up be sure to 'talk' about it, that way that situation can be avoided. As long as the argument is not about cheating than you and him will be A-OK!!

Well, it helps a lot if you are good at making things up quickly, and not hesitating at all as you speak.  If you have any verbal tics - saying "um" or "you know" can make your argument seem less credible to a judge.  Physically you need to know how to stand in order to appear somewhat intimidating.  Standing with your elbows outstretched, for example, makes you take up more space and therefore appear larger.\n\nOf course researching a topic backwards and forwards is going to be the best way to win a debate.  But if you can't do that, you need to stick to common sense when explaining your stance. Use humor when you can, and anecdotes from your everyday life to prove your point. Make everything you say short and very clear - nine times out of ten, the shorter a speech is, the better people listening to it will think it is.\n\nI don't know whether you're interested in tips for fighting dirty when it comes to debating, but one method that is sure to freak out your opponent and make you seem smarter is to question them on their thought processes.  Saying, "I don't think that you understand what you are talking about.  Here, let me explain the way things really are." is a bit of a low blow, but it usually works.  Unless your opponent is a lot smarter than you are, anyway.\n\nGood luck and stuff.

Argue away!  You are right - it should be wiln't or willn't.  Not really sure how you go about arguing your point with them, though, but I'm sure they have a web site and a contact link.  Good luck!

The whole point of the exercise is to see what YOU think, what YOUR line of reasoning is, and how YOU develop your line of argument.  If someone gives you an excellent thesis statement, you won't know what to do with it because you have no supporting argument.  How can you?  The premise is for an argument that isn't yours.\n\nThe way you do these is to reason within yourself how you believe, then write out your arguments to convince yourself and others that your line of reasoning is sound.  There is no "right" answer; but your logic will either be consistent or inconsistent.  If it is consistent, you will have a logical argument.\n\nAfter that, the thesis statement will write itself.

just keep remaining quiet,  usually if people know you have a view point on something especially religion they will debate you on it...thats why i stay away from those types of subjects......

Sure it is. No two people are going to agree on everything. As long as the argument doesn't get out of hand, it's perfectly normal. Believe it or not, an argument can actually be healthy for a friendship as long as you don't start saying hurtful things to each other in order to win the argument.

Be informative, rather than opinionated.  Know the true opinions of the other side, and do not put forth 'straw' oposition opinions  with which to frame your argument.

might sound like the easy way out, but make stuff up.   Or you tell them it's none of their business.  Or you can just be very vague and not get into details.   good luck.

People have given you specific ideas.  The point is to find something controversial.  I find it best if I select something I feel strongly about and then argue from the opposite side of the issue.  I learn more and I have less tendency to allow my emotions to cloud the paper.\n\nGood Luck on your final.

Try to be as polite as possible.  Explain common misconceptions about it in a way that isn't harsh or exasperated.  Some people will never believe that we know better than they do what our faith is about and you won't be able to change their minds no matter what.  \n\nI try my best to show them by example that what they think they know is not true.   My line of thinking has always been if they can see that I'm not running around dressed all in black threatening to cast spells on people then maybe what they think they know is false.  It works sometimes and not others.  \n\nI know it's difficult to maintain your composure when people become hostile and insulting, but you almost have to.  If you respond in kind, you prove their point.

Just give them their space and let them work it out on their own.  Never take sides..Just listen if someone needs to talk..that's all.
