Disclaimer: This thread is not trying to discourage you from arguing, it is simply stating how pointless it is.
Alright, so I think its safe to assume that everyone here has been in an argument about religion, laws, war, Obama, stimulus packages, legalizing marijuana, etc., etc. and although arguing is fun, it is pointless.
No matter what some people say on an internet forum (or in real life), it is not going to change whats going to happen. Example:
Me: I personally think that marijuana should be legalized.
Friend: But it kills!
Me: It kills less than alcohol and tobacco.
Friend: It can cause cancer!
That argument I just had with my friend (aka myself) is not going to convince congress to pass a law legalizing marijuana. As much as I wish arguing would help and that normal people would have more of a voice, its pointless.
