for arguments sake

i hate arguing with people. this is not to say that i always agree with others or that i never share differing opinions with others. for some people dissent is a sport. if they aren't verbally sparring with someone they feel dead. i find bickering unsettling and unpleasant. i  run like the wind away from debates  unless it is necessary. i prefer to discuss  the things that bring people closer together rather than those that rip people  apart.
