The Most Trivial and Pointless Argument You've Ever Had.

[AngloDoom]

That saying "take a long walk off a short bridge" is wrong, and it just a way of slowly walking over a bridge, rather than a 'go die' expression. This went on for an hour, with people genuinely getting stressed over it. While trying to drop the conversation, people kept digging it up, and when the people who said it didn't make sense felt they had won they made the most smug faces I have ever seen.

Added to the flames that one of the people on the opposing side of the arguement was my ex-girlfriend, and when it comes to each other I think we have a mutual, if unspoken, rule to completely disagree with each other in all forms of arguement. Truly, a pathetic hour.


EDIT-

Pffff... I bet you that the arguements I've had are way more pointless and trivial than all of yours.

Try me *does cliche karate movie hand closing to indicate that you should bring it on, and damn this is a long movement/gesture*.

Yeah, I'm sure that I've had a more trivial arguement then you've had. I had this one not that long ago that was so pointless, I'm not even going to talk about it. It's that trivial.

But how could I possibly believe you have had arguments more pointless than any I have had if you won't provide me with any evidence?

Oh believe me, it's pretty trivial. Somewhat Ironic too, come to think of it.

Please enlighten me.

You mean you don't know about it? Really? Because we're having it right now.

Clever you, it's too bad we weren't having an argument.

I hope both you guys are playing along, rather than one simply being dominated unwittingly, because this is possibly the funniest thing that will ever happen in this thread, and kudos to you both.

I argue all the time with my brother about trivial things. Once I argued if a house that was opposite ours had their christmas tree up when it was a few months after christmas. It was not clear whether the object really was a christmas tree. I think I lost in the end...

I argue with people about arguing, All of the Time.

Seems pretty trivial to me, no?

No, actually, it doesn't, and I find the fact you consider it trivial a cause for argument in of itself.

I disagree.

The pronunciation of the fictional names "Tyrion" and "Jaime".


(It's "TEER-ee-on" and "JAYM", right? My stupid friends think it's "TY-ron" and "JAY-mee".)

Jaime is pronounced "Hi-me".

"HI-may" actually.

I was just going by Jaime I know, but now that you mention it, I've heard your pronunciation as well.

"HI-may" actually.

This is confusing to me as Jaime is a) a real name and b)is acceptable alternate spelling of Jamie.

Arguing over what was the coolest space marine legion in 40k....

I said Word Bearers
One friend said Iron Warriors
Another said Space Wolves

We went on for about 40 minutes, arguing about which looked the most badass, which one would win in a battle royale, which one was the strongest in terms of armament and military might....


Yeah, we're all huge nerds.

DUDE, DUDE. Don't you know it's the Blood Ravens? OR even better, Ultramarines. Can't beat blue.

Whether pizza was invented in Italy or America. I can't believe I have to actually argue this with someone either...

That depends on what you mean by invent. I believe the greeks actually started it, but romans adopted it. In modern form Italy had the pizza margherita which is the basis of what we think of as pizza, but Chicago and New York adapted it to personal tastes.

Well, the Greeks invented the actual food I guess, but weren't the Italians the first to actually use the term "pizza" or something along those lines? That's what I thought anyway.

My and my Cousin had a three month arguement going on about whether or not Egypt was in Africa or Spain. I eventually won when I finally got him to look at an Atlas.

I've had an arguement going on for about 5 years now over the pronunciation of the Ecko clothing brand. This is with both my Aunt and my Cousin who are adamant that it's pronounced Eco while I say it's pronounced Echo. I know it's pronounced Echo because I've watch video's with Mark Ecko where he says the word Mark Ecko to introduce himself... Yet both my Cousin and my Aunt refuse to watch these vids and chastise me every time I pronounce the name of the clothes I usually wear.

A debate I still can't believe I had with my fiance (born/raised in Maine) and me (born/raised in Ohio)

Fiance:: "There's no such things as nuclear power plants anymore."
Me:: ".... yes hunny, there is."
Fiance:: "No, there isn't. I have never seen or heard of one around here"
Me:: *pulls up picture of the Perry nuclear plant* "Yes, hunny, there is. And it is active"

It's amazing what kind of cultural differences there are 600 miles apart in the same country. There's also the all-too-common debates of saying "pop" (me) over saying "soda." (her and everyone else up here)

Me:: What the hell is a bottle deposit?
Tia:: ...You're such a tourist.
Me:: I'm not a tourist! It's not my fault I've never seen this!
Tia:: And that makes you a tourist
Me:: So I'm a tourist because it's something I don't even have where I come from I'm not used to seeing?
Tia:: Yes, because now you live here and once you get used to seeing it and it's no longer amazing to you, you won't be a tourist anymore.

Yeah, I was hoping to bait someone a bit more. You were too civil in your questioning. Oh well, I'll have to try it again some time.

My friends, and i started with a debate of how to make the best serial killer, and it was all going to swimmingly till we got to the topic of should the person who made the killer have control over him/her, or should the killer just be aloud to go nuts on who ever he comes across.

That one is easy, You should start off with the person who made the killer controlling him. Serial killers always seem to have a hard time when they start killing; they do it rarely at first then as time goes on they do it more and more frequently until they're doing it so often that they get caught. So the dude who made the killer should control him until the killer gets used to the killing, then just let him go nuts.

Nah the idea started with kidnapping a child, then forcing him through hard p.e, then force him to kill animals at the start, then as time went on force him to kill and eat people.

I've had plenty of pointless arguments about games in the past.

Usually along the lines of "hey this would be a cool idea for a game" followed by 100 variations of the same negative response. My suggestions for games are usually pretty pointless and crazy, but i do put on my game design head and think them through a little.

For example "Zelda in space". It sounds funny but i don't think it's as ridiculous as it sounds.
I'm too lazy to expand on that right now, you can think through it yourself though. And yes i'm talking about the same Link with a sword Zelda.

My suggestions aren't always feasible ideas but it's amazing how long people can argue about these things, only to have the argument ended by "it's just my opinion".

Me and a friend once argued over the rules of the yellow car game. What does and doesn't count is still on the table.

 

[T-Bone24]

I argued with my friend for two solid months and a bit afterwards that Godzilla could totally kick King Kong's arse.

 

[Dmatix]

Arguing with a guy who insisted Roger Moore was the first James Bond. Well, at least it earned me a dollar.

I had some really inane argument with a kid in my high school German class.I can't remember the argument or even what started it. All I know is that it involved "time" and the argument escalated until it reached a point where my opponent shouted, "ROCKS. DON'T. AGE!" Everyone within earshot started laughing.

I also had an argument with the same person about whether not cows exploded if you milked them. He said they did and he meant like BOOM! explosions, like the whole cow goes up in flames. That argument lasted roughly twenty minutes and our teacher and the rest of the class got roped into the whole thing.

German class was probably the weirdest subject I ever took in high school...

 

[Jackalb]

It was about a pen and whose it was.
It escalated into a fight.

I think you will find that the emperor's children reign supreme, but if i put aside pointless loyaltys, then everyone can agree that the ultramarines are obviously the most succesful, although not the most bad-ass

At High School i had an argument with my best friend about what the better weapon was, a Metal Baseball Bat or a Chainsaw, It spread to 10 other people and spanned 2 years...
