Why will some people argue about anything, anytime, with almost anyone?

Some people need insight into all the different angles of each situation. Some people feel the need to explain all the different angles of each situation, whether you care or not.

unfortuneatly im one of those people and i do it to disprove other people and boast superiority srry any one ive ofended

I find arguing is sometimes a useful way to test the strength of someone's idea. Some people find a good debate to be intellectually stimulating. In Italy people have enlivened debates out in public with strangers. I guess there's a fine line between arguing and debating.

Some people argue anytime mostly in presence of others even if they dont know what they are talking about.

is just to show that they are the only person who got toungue withour bone,
in simple to gain attention.

No they don't, you're wrong!

I do that when I'm PMSing. I argue EVERYTHING, doesn't matter what you say, I'll argue with you. Then usually at the end of the day I'll say "I think I'm PMSing" and my husband will always say "Really? I didn't notice!" and we laugh about it.

No! I disagree! And I want to argue with you about it! :)

In the case of my friend Larry I think he has to argue about everything to feel superior and boost his ego. And it gives him control which he has lost most of at home.He will do unbelievable things to draw you into an argument. I hope he reads this.

My EX all the way - He bullied me and alway's tried to have the last word - And he tried to ruin every thing about me and I'm realizing it's his self hate he had for him self - I still haven't been able to rise above his bullying - I'm trying though - People who bully other's has that exact personality - Good Question Jodie44 - You got me Venting and I needed that -

Arguing can be a good thing, lets say you get a .25 raise and you think you deserve more, well one will normally try to negotiate. This is good arguing, however, if you choose to order lets say to buy a dog and your best friend argues with you that you shouldn't well lets just say to heck with her, it's YOUR CHOICE and when you are sure of something no one person on this earth can make you change your mind.

people who are bored

I was labelled as the argueaddict, not many managed to win on anything when we started to argue.

But I do not agree that we we are unhappy people, we know a lot more things and have ore opinions.

We do not really wish to wish in every arguement, but we managed to bring out the best from everybody until they are exhausted with ideas and words.

We love to be challenged, bullied because we will definitely sharpen our tools again and again.

I HAD a friend like that! No matter what you say she will always come back at you with something! You can say it's a beautiful sunny day and she will come at you with with why it isn't!

I couldn't take it or her anymore so I ended the friendship.

I think people that argue everything are just VERY unhappy people and want to make everyone else unhappy.

Arguments are fun, and MUCH more interesting than sitting about talking about how dull life is or how bored you are.

Which is why I'm going to write a book on how to start conversations in chatrooms. "Myspace Chat for Dummies" Chapter One: everyone's bored!
Chapter Two: Start talking about ANYTHING.
Chapter Three: Some Macho Person Gets Pissed
Chapter Four: Everyone Takes Sides (bound to happen)
Chapter Five: All Fight, everyone hates YOU.
Chapter Six: Boredom is eradicated. Until You leave. Then they are Bored again.

Probably because they have nothing else to do.

Some people won't argue about anything, anytime, with almost anyone. -LOL

to be a dick.

They like to argue. Oh yes they do.

My husband and all his relatives are this way. They will argue over pretty much everything and anything. They will act as if they're right on some things you know are wrong because you've done the research. But they will still insist they are right. It's so annoying.

I hate arguing. Maybe you say my conversations are dull. But I feel as if their are other conversations to be had that arguments and debates over whose right and whose wrong. It's one thing to have an opinion and for another person to have a different opinion on something. That's all fine and dandy, but why does stating ones opinion turn into a battle of whose right and whose wrong and getting people upset. Why can't you just state your opinion, the other state theirs and that be that. We don't need the whole this is why I'm right and this is why your wrong and repeat...repeat...repeat.

If your so smart...why can't you teach someone/enlighten them without putting their intellect down?

Because some people came through a lots of pains and suffers from differt types of people, Some people argues without any good or bad reasons too, it makes them to or to protect themselves from some evil people.

I think the most interesting point about this topic of conversation is that everyones opinions are different - and everyone likes their a opinion to be heard - I know I argue, and I enjoy it!! Especially when people make a statement, this really gets me going.

For example today we were discussing vegetarianism - and my friend mentioned that meat is important because of iron, to which I replied well you can get iron from other sources, and iron from plants is absorbed far more easily into the body. To which she stated research that indicated it was unhealthy to be a vegan, vegetarians was a bit better but a healthy diet including meat was better. So in response I made reference to some research on some twins that suggested that there are pro's and cons to both vegetarianism and a diet including meat.

But my point is there is always going to be 2 sides to every argument and if people don't like people argueing with them then I suggest those people keep their opinions/statements to themselves because if you want to have opinion expect that other people are intitled to their own opinions also - even if it is just for the sake of being opposite. And besides what are people going to talk about if we all agreed, lets do this conversation again, "meat is important because iron is necessary for the diet" response "oh I agree" - conversation over!!

Sounds like anger issues, probably self loathing of sorts.

There is also the possibility that the person is highly intelligent and feels the need to point out how stupid other people are(most people don't like being called stupid, thus the argument).
