Arguing and Politics

INSULT. RETORT. COUNTER-RETORT. QUESTIONING OF SEXUAL PREFERENCE. SUGGESTION TO SHUT THE **** UP. NOTATION THAT YOU CREATE A VACUUM. RIPOSTE. ADDON RIPOSTE. COUNTER-RIPOSTE. COUNTER-COUNTER RIPOSTE. NONSENSICAL STATEMENT INVOLVING PLANKTON. RESPONSE TO RANDOM STATEMENT AND THREAT TO BAN OPPOSING SIDES. WORDS OF PRAISE FOR FISHFOOD.. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND ACCEPTENCE OF TERMS.

I thought that summed up an argument and politics very well. No I didn’t think of it, nor did I even write the idea down, pure plagiarism right there.
To start things off this will not be as long as my other posts, this is merely a brief opinion on arguments in general and also my lacking view and interest in politics.
Now though arguing, personally I try to avoid arguments, why? You may ask. Very simple, what do you normally get after an argument, you will have both sides feeling quite awkward with each other and one side feeling like crap, generally this person is the one with the most common sense and quite a lot of the time the correct point.
The person who comes out on top is usually the one who has either the loudest voice, biggest body or just they are so thick headed the other party gives up.

Sometimes, I agree, that arguments can indeed help, help you to discuss the issues that two people have, have a little blowout and yell random insults at each other, helps to relieve tension. However the main problem with most arguments is that one person is wrong. This is my issue with them, if one person is wrong why try to make something wrong into something correct, just because you say dolphins are hippos it won’t make them go rolling around in buddy water and put on a few hundred pounds.
The other problem with arguments is specific to certain people, you will know someone like this. They are the brick wall argument types, you will say a valid point and they will either say one point over and over, you will interject, they will repeat their point, you will stop them there, they will repeat their point again, rinse and repeat.

In all honesty that is probably my main issue with arguments as the only ones I seem to get into are the ones where my opponent seems to not be able to comprehend anything other than their own view which makes arguing pointless, it’s just two people reciting their brains to each other in raised voices.

Well here’s my long awaited view on politics. Now I couldn’t care less who gets in or out, or shakes it all about for that matter, as long as I have my internet, xbox, computer, friends and family. Really I couldn’t care less whether Labour takes control or a pack of weasels, it’s all the same to me. Every party will promise over 9000 different things and not commit to doing more than 1 of them during their time in power, everyone will moan and want to switch, rinse and repeat (what a lovely phrase).

I do however hope that at some point a party that knows it won’t win, Llamas for Lisbon or whatever, should just pull out all the stops and say that if they get elected they will shower streets with candyfloss and give every child a steam train, just a thought.
