Is anyone else like this?

^^^ i agree, i don't like arguing with people who can't understand simple logic, i don't even bother anymore. the one thing i avoid completely is arguing religion (i'm not saying religious people are stupid, let me explain). i used to be catholic, and when i was i knew that a lot of science disagreed with my religion, and i could see why someone wouldn't be religious, but i still believed. i don't debate religion anymore because whenever i do it's with someone who's so hardheaded that they can't wrap their minds around the fact that someone might not believe the same thing they do and it usually ends with them describing their personal experiences and saying "how do you explain THAT" and acting all smug about it.

i love intelligent debate, especially if i learn something and change my opinion. if i walk away from a debate with a new point of view, i feel satisfied. the whole point of debate for me is for both people to walk away with the same, or similar, point of view. you're trying to convince the other person that your opinion is correct. most of the time debates won't change someones opinion on something (and often that's just because people are too proud to admit that the other person might have a point), but for me if i walk away with even a slightly different perception, it actually makes me happy. i guess it's weird for me to say that i actually like losing an intelligent debate, considering how competitive i am.

Yes, I notice logical flaws in what people say all the time! Annoys people a lot!

Ahh, I have faced much hostility by being logical.

Most people don't like to have their inconsistencies pointed out to them, because it damages their egos.
(Note: I am not talking specifically about NTs, and also note that I said most, not all.)

I remember when my mom said, "When you pay the phone bill, you can talk on the phone all you want!"
So I went and bought my own Pay-As-You-Go cell phone, and I paid for it all by myself!

Well, one day, mom tried to take the cellphone away from me.
I quoted her word-for-word what she had told me before, and even told her the exact date she had said it.
Mom got all mad at me and claimed that she never such a thing. She played 'selective memory."

I thought like this for a long time.

Then I saw a film;

"to let that which does not matter truly slide." ---Tyler Durden

Pretty much all of the above for me too.

Don't like arguments ... two people can't have an argument if one of them won't.

Discussions/debates are fine.

No point trying to convince people who don't want to know any different ... just accept that's how they are ... let them be ... and adjust your thoughts accordingly.

Everybody tells lies ... but that's OK, coz nobody listens.
