Be able to defend your arguments in a rational way. Otherwise, all you have is an opinion.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The difficult part in an argument is not to defend one's opinion but rather to know it.
Argue with anything else, but don't argue with your own nature.
Arguments only confirm people in their own opinions.
You can't take people's opinions personally. Usually what people say about it is a reflection of them own issues.
At some point, you have to be willing to accept other people's opinions. I think that's helpful.
I try and sit on the fence because as soon as you voice any kind of opinion, people begin to think you're an idiot.
You can't defend the indefensible - anything you say sounds self-serving and hypocritical.
Arguing, in the sense of attempting to convince others, has gone out of fashion with conservatives.
The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.
I will listen to any argument put to me.
