Biggest argument you've ever started.

All I wanted was a cool-sounding name for the Sun.

I remember that post. Sort of. I didn't stick around to read it all, but I would probably side with the science nerds.

Anyway... The biggest argument I have had that I remember was recently. I tried to get my DotA-loving friends to get steam (with arguments relating to DotA 2 and ease of talking in-game). They just kept saying how steam was "suspicious".

Whether salted or unsalted peanuts are best.

I have friends still not talking to each other over that.

A friend of mine told me about a party she went to that was ruined by someone posing the question "Who would win, a caveman or an astronaut?"
It ended in fistfight & a lot of people leaving.

That's from the last season of Angel. Angel and Spike get into a fight over it.

OT: My argument consisted of about 20 people over time, including a Physics teacher. "Would giant ants be possible?"

Purely to scale, just increased to about 2 metres tall. Logic says yes, physics says no. The battle raged on for days.

I once started a war over... hmm... I have no idea... xD

On an IRC channel with various nationalities, I pointed out that Americans are constantly bombed by propaganda, but they just don't see it as they've grown used to it. The traffic on that channel went so high I couldn't keep up reading it all. That was amazing.

Meh, it was in argument several years ago, before there were gaming tournaments (just after the release of quake 3) and just before forum moderators actually moderated, the topic was 'is gaming a sport'. I ended up throwing a hissy fit and left the forums because of someone named 'mad cow' - which I ended up knowing in real life, and secretly wanted to punch whenever I saw him.

Things I've learned about how to start monumental arguments:

When she says "where do you see this relationship going?", the correct answer is not "I don't know" or "Let's talk about something else" or even "into the bedroom." There are only two correct answers:

"To happily ever after territory. I want you in my life...forever, if you'll have me that long."

or

"To hell in a handbasket if you keep asking me questions like that."

Note that the former may lead to marriage and the latter is a guaranteed breakup. But if the girl is asking the question, she wants to know if you plan to marry her---no matter whether you've been together five minutes or five years. This is because women are crazy...desperate, broken women a thousand times so.

LMAO!!! Classic sir, just classic.
