I personally try to avoid arguing unless it's a healthy dispute. A lot of people like to make it personal rather than just debating the topic. This makes both parties defensive and even if you win the argument you haven't changed their mind about it.

Divided... On the internet I argue with everyone very intense without making it personal and without emotion because emotion sucks in an argumentation... I rather have rational arguments...
But IRL I don't like to argue much unless something really bothers me =P
I'll just comment on real life experience.
If someone is a piece of shit and a scammer, or downright dirty dealer, hell yeah if they get dirty with ya ream them a new asshole.
If its a teachable person who is doing wrong, I'm MORE than willing to help them try to operate in more fair and compassionate manners.
It all depends on who you're up against, and what tactics you can employ to try to change them.
Some people can change, some cant. Weed 'em out.
If you run into a person who seems impossible (probably due to severe mental illness/severe personality disorder, that's either a lost cause or a long and difficult role. In that case, shoot the in the face if noting else works. Because no doubt, they're planning on shooting YOU in the face first.
These solutons are usable for all scenarious, as people like thng tend to NOT stop their behaviour, it only gets worse.
Don't even make yourself a target. That works unless you're a complete pussy or nerd with no backbone.
I try to avoid it but if I'm knowledgeable about the topic, I will try to set them straight. On the internet..just depends what kind of mood I'm in.
I love arguing, though I only argue to challenge the other person's beliefs or "facts", not because of some irrational desire to prove my superiority. I just enjoy it for some reason. My dad always found that funny.
In the past I would jump into conflicts but since that has cause me to get arrested in self defense. I pick my battles, if i don't feel your worth the time I won't give you any. My way of saying your Irrelevant.
In my opinion, there is too many people who allow emotion to cloud their judgement and hinder any rational discussion they might have. I love having convos/debates with people that have different beliefs than me..but I only tend to deal with the people who I think can actually have a level-headed discussion. I try not to argue...but more so, build on my opinion and hopefully help them build on theres.
I only argue about meaningless stuff that won't offend anyone, unless they really annoy me about a certain topic.
I always avoid conflicts.
People who don't know when to back down to avoid a conflict are just stupid. I'm really annoyed by such people and prefer to stay away from them.
No, I don't mean everyone should be just run away from everything, but starting meaningless arguments or even physical fights is really unnecessary.
I'm apathetic most of the time until certain matters are brought up, in which I seem to (looking back on events) become more aggressive in defense.
Although I admit it's not my best trait, I'm a bit of a pushover in real-life. I'm easy to persuade, and sometimes even manipulate. I try to avoid confrontation whenever I can. I only argue if I feel passionately about something and have a high chance of winning.
On the internet is a different story, I'll argue with anyone if I think there is a good chance of it being productive.
if i feel strongly about something or im certain that im right then i will try to get my point across
I avoid conflict wherever possible, and I fight the battles that need to be fought.
If I know I can win, I start conflicts.
If the numbers are stacked against me and it will become a battle against more than one person with nobody at my aid, I avoid it.
If my emotions get the best of me, I start a conflict and always win...even if I'm blatantly wrong. I'm a master bullshit artist.
If I get really emotional, I just yell as loud as I can. I have a powerful voice and am generally louder than everyone, nobody even pays attention to words at this point.
I guess I generally pick my battles unless I get emotional. I try to keep my emotions in check though.
I normally avoid arguements as much as possible, unless I know I'm right on something and they try to tell me I'm wrong. Why not argue if your right? Although if they continue to annoy me about it, that they are right, when they aren't I'm just like ok go with your own thoughts.
Arguements do annoy me, I'd prefer to just talk it over. But a lot of people are just to immature to think things through on the other side of the story at times because they are supposely always right. Thats when I can't be around that person much anymore. Just agree to disagree and never bring that topic up again if you know that they won't agree with you.
Depends.
Normally, I choose my battles. If it's an issue that needs to be settled, and it can be settled, then I am willing to go after it (although sometimes emotion is involved as I am impulsive and still struggle with my temper).
However, even if the issue NEEDS to be settled, and the elephant in the room NEEDS to be addressed, if I know that my starting anything over it will only anger the person and achieve no positive result, I'm not going to pursue it. Conflict must lead to resolution.
If I am going to start conflict for the sake of conflict, either I'm feeling like an asshole or I wish to vent. Although sometimes I start conflict without knowing it (eg. Someone complains about their boyfriend being abusive towards them and my response is "why don't you just leave him?"). In my mind, when someone comes to me with a problem, it is because they want insight or help solving it. I never understood the concept of folks complaining just to complain (unless we're talking about something permanent like a death or disability). If you don't want to solve the problem then like... why are you even thinking about it? Obviously you're cool with things v.v
I actually love arguing, example - over winter it was icy on my back street and my car was stuck so i went to the nearest grit bin which was nearly empty, an oldish guy came out of his house and he had gritted all his garden path and all the pavement and road next to his house and he had the cheek to tell me not to use a lot, anyways i could have left it at that but i decided to ask him whether it was actually his grit, this esculated to the point where i told him to fuck right off then with the help of an autoglass repair man we stole all of the grit out of the bin. I sometimes just get the urge to act like a complete tit and argue for no apparent reason.
I wish I could of chose. Avoid but to be honest I slip sometimes and just flat out argue with people I'll admit I'm not perfect But everything is an opinion and if you like it or not everyone has one. A little debate is healthy but for the most part I like to avoid it
