That's why I used to put up a show for everyone when I argued, but now I'm more relaxed and not as attacking. I don't mind much defending. 

The problem is you have continued to deny the opinion that has been proven correct. You simply can't admit you're wrong.

I don't understand what you mean by this. I've admitted I was wrong before.

JackRoach

Lol. Seriously 25G, are you on a side? Or are you trying to prove both of us wrong?

It's rarely productive, which is why I stopped doing it. I agree with you for once.

I'm not picking sides that have flaws.

Congrats, you've learned. Although why did you do it in the first place. I thought it'd be obvious

Perhaps, but not enough.

It doesn't make you sound smart. It makes you sound like you're trying to sound smart, perhaps because you're dumb

Your comment sort of proves my point.  For lack of a better argument you resort to calling someone dumb

I wasn't calling you dumb. I was adding to your comment. Nothing against you, just a general response to anyone

I didn't do it much. I didn't point them out constantly, I only did it semi-commonly and usually did it as a joke.

It wasn't very funny I realized, and someone blocked me just for it. So I stopped.

Are you talking about the Pedestrian/cyclist stuff? Let's not get into that here, we'll both look like idiots.

Doesn't change the fact that you resort to immature name calling

 

I'm conveying a meaning. Take it as you will. It wasn't immature name calling either. Just precision of language. I prefer someone who is upfront, rather than someone who's vague

No, not the pedestrian stuff. I'm just noting on your character

Not really. I also like to have clear and simple arguments, but that can't always happen. It's getting a lot more muddled now, but you don't have to blame it on anyone.

I agree. Precision of language is important. You want to convey the correct meaning.

Well, my "online character," has a big ego. I'm not actually like that in real life.

 

Idk, a big ego kinda adds to my character, but takes away as well.

Ah. Now you're resorting to, "immature name calling." Going against your own philosophy.

I understand history not taking us seriously because we're kids, but it's really just annoying.

Trust me, I'm getting more out of this conversation than you are. I'm not arguing to prove any point or just to argue. I'm not even arguing. I'm responding and learning from the responses I'm getting. BTW Your responses have been interesting. I'm learning a lot about you.

It gives you character. It lowers your reputation
