Yesterday's comic got me thinking: Pride plays a very large part in the length of time an internet argument will rage on. Sometimes, we just can't stand the idea of not getting the last words in. Because damn it, if they spoke last, then it looks like they won! And damn it, we don't need people whispering about how so and so totally smoked us in that debate over rye bread vs. whole wheat! Hell no! We'll NEVER live that down!
But the problem with getting into arguments (internet or otherwise) is they're kind of like getting a breakfast sandwich from McDonald's. While you're in the middle of it, it's kind of good. But soon after you finish it, you feel really disgusted and swear you'll NEVER EVER have one again. You do of course. Because we're gluttons for punishment.
Anyway, for those of us who get ourselves stuck in the neverending desire to be RIGHT, here's a helpful tool that can help you pull out before you feel scummy. Simply print this baby out, start ignoring whatever tiff you were in, and VIOLA! Instant satisfaction.

I honestly think that people aren't looking to win an argument. They are just looking to have one.
Want to see something fun? When someone starts arguing with you, agree with them and then compliment them and try and look sincere and not sarcastic about it. You will see them explode from not having anyone to argue with.

A-to-the-men, Brotha.
I experience that often. With a side of "Well it's MY opinion sooo". Yeah well your opinion started the whole conversation, which is made up of opinions, so stop acting like a pussy.
