Has anyone ever liked to argue about a topic you felt strongly on?

Have you ever felt that rush or that feeling when you are arguing about a topic that you feel passionately about?
I don't know about you, but sometimes, I get really into certain topics and I feel like I can argue constantly for hours upon hours. Because of this, I consider myself a bit argumentative because there are moments when I just want to talk about a certain subject and start a debate over it so I can express how I feel and hear what other people think about it too. I'm not saying I want to cause a lot of commotion or trouble by starting a lot of debates, but it's just that urge/strong feeling, when you really get into a topic.
Have you ever felt that way before? Do you like to argue sometimes? Do you like that rush or feeling? All responses are welcomed =]

I am known to argue about topics all the time, if I know or strongly believe that I am right I will voice my opinion.
Animal rights is not something I am too crazy about though, only in certain situations.

I know what you mean too! If I strongly believe in something, I will want to voice my opinion and in a way (though not all the time), go against those that have complete opposite views depending on the topic. I don't feel like that all the time, but in rare cases I do. I'm not too big on animal rights either because I don't know much about it. Thank you for sharing =]

Oh yes a lot...I have been into so many heated discussions especially about animal rights and about a particular lady politician who has been treated so badly in this country because she tells the truth, yes I get very heated...

Ah, I know what you mean. Sometimes when I get really into what I'm talking about, it's hard to give it up and just stop. Sometimes the discussions get pretty out of control as in it get blown out of proportion. I can't think of exactly what topics I get into heated debates right now because I can get into a lot of topics pretty easily when I argue, but thank you for sharing =D

There have been many discussions in the past, where I have participated and argued. Especially, on Orkut, once there was a heated debate on Mahabharata, where I strongly supported the Pandavas and others were arguing against me. I was the only person to be fighting against 10 people, and it was a tough time arguing back and I just could do nothing.
But, I don't believe in heated debates and arguments. I rather believe in respecting other people's opinions, but yes, if you have argue to see to it that truth prevails, and it's for the good of everybody, then it's fine.
But sometimes we can react and get into such arguments, and it's good once in a while, but shouldn't be a regular thing.

Oh, I've never heard of Orkut before. I'm not exactly sure what Mahabharata is, but it sounds like a religion? I guess for myself, I just like that rush that serious debates give me. I'm not saying I believe in all arguments and such, but sometimes you just need to let them know what the real deal is. Thank you for sharing =D

I was like that some fifteen years before.Me and my friend used to argue a lot about religious faiths.He is a Christian and I am a Hindu.Both of us have strong points to argue and we did it for hours,once started.But now,we shed that habit of arguing about religion as both have matured a lot.The beauty is we didn't hate each other after all that heated arguments.

Arguments are o state our views to the opponent and it doesn't mean to force our ideas to the other.If one is clear with this he/she can argue a lot to anybody but still maintain the relationship.For that tolerance more than maturity is needed and the whole World currently needs it.

Haha, same here. When I feel like I'm right about something and I have a strong feeling that there are others who are wrong, I'll feel that same exact way. Thank you for sharing =D

yes on topics I feel very strongly about yes I do tend to go on and on about them, sometimes it does pizz people off I try not to do it as much, but it is hard when you really care about the subject you are discussing.

Haha, I do too! I tend to go on forever about the topics that I am passionate about, and yes, they also tend to anger a lot of my friends. I can't really help it sometimes because, as you said, it really is hard to not talk about subjects that you deeply care about. Thank you for your response =]

Many a times but did not succeed in winning the discussion as it always being a tough discussion even at my home but the person who have more power and guts also tough hard and pitching voice wins the discusssion even if the other is correct.

Oh, I see. I don't really go for winning the discussion much. I usually just debate to get my point across, though sometimes it does feel good to know who was the stronger opponent =] Thank you for sharing =D

I'll be the first to admit that I have done so several times. I have yet to do it here and go back and forth on a topic for hours on end, but I've been known to do it in the past. If there is a topic that urks me enough there is just no shutting me up sometimes and my mouth has caused more trouble then I care to admit at times.

I can relate to you. Sometimes it annoys my friends because I keep talking about the subject. Though I want to stop, it really is hard because I feel strongly about it. Haha, my mouth has caused me much trouble too! Anyhow, thank you for sharing =]

Yes. I get really into certain discussions. I hate to argue but sometimes I feel like I hate not to convince someone of something even more than my distaste for arguing.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Sometimes it's just hard to hold yourself back when you just get that rush, that urge to argue with someone. Thank you for sharing =]
