G'day Bowlinggreen, Thank you for your question. In my view, arguing between people is counterproductive but discussion is useful. The aim of the exercise should be to change heated arguments into calm, rational discussions. Often, this is easier said than done but worth trying. Regards

It depends what you mean by arguing, if it is the whole "Yes!" "No!" "Yes!" "No!" kinda argument, then it is almost never going to be productive, and is often actually counter-productive. However theres a nice saying, "It is said that it is only through learned discourse that we may rise above the savage and become closer to God", that's basically saying that it is only through disagreement and intelligent discussion of that disagreement that we can learn anything. So I'd have to say if you mean an argument in the true sense of the word, then no, it's not counterproductive, if you mean the whole "no im right" "no IM right!" etc argument, then yes, it is very counter-productive
