Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Yet, some people argue passionately about everything. They enjoy testing the strength of another’s convictions, or else they have a mood disorder. Perhaps they are simply bullies. Or it’s PMS.
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) has a wide variety of symptoms, including mood swings, tender breasts, food cravings, fatigue, irritability and depression. An estimated 3 of every 4 menstruating women experience some form of premenstrual syndrome.

[FYI: Don't argue the fact that 3 out of 4 is almost 75%.]
…. and then you hit menopause
being a Christian, i love to irritate the agnostics, but only when invited to do so
i’m very nice, except during pms *psycho knife stabbing sound*
I hate to argue with sophists. They are often right!

The problem is that people confuse orthogonality with justice. Since for me, justice is about human excellence. and excellence is not about harming, intolerance of intolerance is not intolerable.
Or as Marcus Aurelius put it, “What is no good for the hive is no good for the bee.”
Then I will not argue upon Your expressed thoughts,
but, that is only today, tomorrow I will be myself
he he he
(( hug n’ ugh ))
I wanted to work ‘addlepated’ into my comment, but I’m too busy laughing at ‘I hate arguing with twits”…. ha ha That is such a great ending line! Those people who love to argue over anything and everything always hate me, because I’m so laid back I’m positively comatosed, and arguments are the last thing on my mind. They just deflate when I agree with them.. ha ha
Have a great weekend, you talented lady, you.
Right on PMS sister, kill them, kill them ALLlllllllllllahahahahahahah. I like this
3 out of 4 males suffer from a syndrome equivalent to PMS.
It’s called OAS – Overbearing A**-hole Syndrome.
Beautiful photograph. Have a lovely week-end.
I love this kind of discussion, nobody listen to the others… The donkey with his big ears has always funny explanation for nothing!
Bisou!
Now I’m feeling sad about some female co-workers who must be menstruating all the time. Ooops, wait a minute. The ones I’m thinking of are 60!
Great photograph
Funny and so true!
I think I’m guilty of this. . of arguing for the sake of testing other people’s ‘convictions’. . or simply for the sake of arguing. . does that make me a bully? I think not

I like harmony and keeping it simple.
Dude, Richard (whoever he is up there) made me go look up orthogonality. Seriously. When I saw that it had something to do with math, I averted my eyes from the screen. But I rather agree that intolerance of intolerance is not intolerable.
Good one, Sera. You rock.
superbe cette main ensablée !
I have absolutely no argument with this superb image Sera:)) Love the light, texture and fine detail!
very cool and interesting post today. I wont argue.
Interesting thoughts and drawings, Sera. I grew up in a family that argued about everything. It carried on into adulthood,
Forgot to mention, I love the picture of the sand in the hand. Definitely something frameable.
I LOVE your photo – the hand with the wet sand. Perhaps more than the photo I love the fact that you must have been at the beach.
Your “cartoon” is perfection and I, too, hate arguing with twits. There’s one more intolerance I have. Stupidity and narrow-mindedness. Oops! That is two…
What a lot of sharp stuff I have missed and strong photos too. Going from strength to strength.
I feel the same. As much as I like to say “to each his own”, I can’t help being mad when beliefs are too extreme… Especially when it comes to religion.
I am so sure that many guys are also having problems with Premenstrual Syndrome
))
For girls that is a super excuse for constant arguing , but what to say for guys ?
‘Intolerant of intolerance’ is an oxymoron but some folks still like to use the words to denote their radical opposition to prejudice and injustice. Other folk like to think mostly of a contrarian viewpoint which can be tiresome if taken to extremes. Best wishes
Man, no joke. I really hate it when people argue to argue. Really, i have so many more interesting things i could be doing with my time thank you.
there’s a noticeable number of customers who come to my ReStore to tell me how overpriced or worthless the stuff we have is. (laughable, really. stuff is SO underpriced) they want to argue with me… or, they used to… on consideration, it occurs to me that i don’t see much of those folks anymore…. perhaps it’s because my unfailing response is a smile, and the reply, “don’t buy it.”
it’s only an argument if you play along.
sand you hello from france…
