To my SubscribersOk, listen, when I'm completely out of inspiration for skins (ikr, I made 2 skins! xD) I'll just write another Blog, I'm writing Minecraft poems at the moment and they're actually halfway descent :) Anyway . . .
     I've noticed that a lot of people have trouble arguing. Many people, when arguing, say "yes" "no" "yes" "no" But in case you didn't notice, this isn't an argument worth putting into words. It has no meaning and no point.
     This Blog isn't to encourage arguing, no way, even if it was I would be the last person to talk to about not arguing. If you know much about me you'll know that I love arguing. Bad thing? Maybe. Anyway, this Blog is for explaining how and how not to argue.

1. Have a point to make. An argument is usually (if not always) two opinions that disagree. But just saying the other person is wrong isn't enough. You need to be right. One of the all time hardest things about arguing is discovering you're wrong. The problem with this is that very, very few human beings will admit to being wrong. They will argue until they die rather than admit they're wrong. Which brings up the question: "Why are you arguing if you know you're wrong?" Thing about it, it's pointless.

2. Do not waste your time with someone who can't argue. Ugh, don't you hate it when the other person just says, "No, no you're wrong." over and over again? Don't argue with them, no matter how hard it is just don't. It's not worth it. One way out is just saying your point in a witty/funny/obviouse way and then just walking away . . . works for me anyways.

3. Be witty. I sometimes wish I could find a book "How to be Witty, for Dummies" it would soooo come in handy . . . It is definatly possible to teach yourself to be witty, however, it takes a long, long time (no, no, I'm not saying this from experience) comeback, so useful. Having a good sense of humour; or sometimes (even better) a dry sense of humour. Seriously though, they're not hard to find, you can literally Google them!

4. Don't get mad. Being witty isn't enough to win an argument (well, not usually anyway.) And for those of you who don't know how to be witty just try staying calm. This will, by the way, frustrate the other person like you wouldn't believe it. It's also a good life skill.

5. Be as nice as possible. Being witty isn't always mean. Sometimes (or more of the time) if you're nice enough it won't feel like an argument, it'll just be a debate, maybe even a friendly debate ;) So much better.

6. Don't go looking for an argument. Must I mention this one? Here's an example:
*walks up to group of people* "The dress is definatly blue and black, don't be dumb!"
"You're so wrong! it's white and gold!"
"You stupid!"
. . . Ummm, no, bad idea. Arguments come to you, don't look for them, don't ask questions that will lead to them. Just smile and accept the fact that people don't think like you, even when they're obviously wrong. It's ok for them to be wrong.

7. Answer a question with a question. Why should the other person be the one to ask all the questions? If they ask you something you can answer by asking them something. Comes in handy sometimes, trust me.

     Well, that's pretty much it. If you want want to argue disagree with anything I said or found a mistake please comment. If this blog was helpful, diamond and comment. If you really, really loved it be sure to favorite and comment. And for more you can just click the little button next to my name that says "subscribe" Thanks for reading! :)
