“Arguing with a fool proves there are two.” — Doris M. Smith
“Never argue with an idiot, they will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.” — Mark Twain
Aside from any possible entertainment value that might be found in arguing with a fool, is there any good reason to indulge in the practice? Are Smith and Twain right?
Arguing with fools is as fruitless as arguing with the wise. But talking with both has merit.

When people say they’ve “won” an argument, they don’t usually mean that they persuaded the other person to join their side through logic and reason. They just mean that, one way or another, they got their own way.

It is simply useless to argue with a fool or idiot. I avoid useless arguments!

Arguing with anyone else doesn’t lead to any conclusion. I am learning to avoid it.
But I argue with myself all the time. And that is the only time I win. 🙂

Try avoiding it! They have a pretty substantial majority, and they like to argue.

We all have a little bit of fool in us. Every now and than it shows its ugly head.
