Arguing with stubborn people is useless if your goal is to get them to change their mind, but it could be different if your goal is to convince other people, like in a debate. But not everything is a debate, with a panel that’s going to decide a winner. Sometimes the only way to win is to just say “whatever.”

Thanks for the link love -it reflects the topic of my post for today.

That was a pretty violent video…now I know why I didn’t watch those shows the first time. I prefer chick flicks.

To the question at hand, with some people there is no winning. In their eyes they are right, and no amount of arguing will change that. That’s when I just say, “whatever”. You do need to learn to pick your battles, and some aren’t worth the energy.

[From Hunter: Alexander, thanks for this link! I moved it to the URL field, since you didn't already have a URL. Everyone, this is a great parody of Star Wars using vegetables, pretty funny if you like Star Wars. You can also go to http://www.storewars.org to bypass the French subtitles.]
