Facebook arguments

Lately I have found myself joining in on Facebook debates and arguments. Not only does this keep me amused but sometimes it's nice to feel smart.

Anyway I have noticed that people who get in to these kind of debates never fully read your counter argument. For instance, there was a debate a few days ago about Palestine and Israel. Now my comment was simply that innocent people were dying on each side, since that is what the photo was off, and sparked the debate. I added that the conflict is going to continue with every retaliation and so both sides were as bad as each other.

Notice I did not ,mention why, nor how, who's to blame, who I side with, nor did I troll through the history. I simply said to reiterate, both sides where as bad as each other as both were murdering innocent people.

Well, people seemed to take this comment very seriously. You would have thought I personally broke in to their houses, trashed it, and smeared poop all over their walls. "How can you say that? Iran did this, blah blah blah". At this point I questioned whether these people had even read my comment it became obvious later that they obviously didn't have the capacity to read something and fully comprehend it. They just felt the need to contradict or argue with an imaginary argument.

Six or seven times I had to reiterate what I said and each time they went in to the history and who was to blame and what was happening. Till at last I gave up and my final comment was "I know what's going on I am just saying that innocent people are dying on both sides, therefor, due to sheer ignorance, both are as bad. Each retaliates and with each retaliation it is the innocent which suffer. I have not commented on the history nor who is to blame or why. Bit you obviously can't read so just keep going with a non existent argument." Then you know what he did, the moron continued to go in to the history and even cited, wait for it, Wikipedia! WIKIPEDIA!! I decided this was a useless cause, he obviously had some kind of brain disorder.

Other times I just like joining in to Facebook debates just to anger people. Sometimes you get them so riled up, a perfectly sane debater turns in to a swearing tosspot. Then the best way to get them even more angry is just to reply "your mum" to everything they say.

The best are the slagging matches, although sometimes you join in and then realise its an actual argument. That can be awkward but fun to read about everyone's personal life...it's ok it's all over one of the most popular social networking working sites, hence they want everyone to know.

So in conclusion if you don't want everyone knowing every detail of your life don't update your statuses with personal info that will provoke an argument. Also read the god damn comments people write properly and don't just make up replys that make no sense. Never sight Wikipedia you will look like a simpleton. Also if you get in to a slagging match always use 'your mum' to wind them up to the max!
