Wicked keeps trying to start intellectual debates by saying stupid things like "If we stopped eating all the cows, what would we do with them?"
He seriously just spent half an hour trying to argue that factory farming and conventional agriculture are better ideas than sustainable/organic farming and moderated animal agriculture.
I hate arguing. I hate "intellectual debates" or debates of any kind. I'm a strong believer that if you care, you should look up the information yourself and decide on your own, not form an opinion based on anything that came out of anyone's mouth. I'm a strong believer in the superiority of the written word. Verbal arguments do not sit well with me.
Wicked is a brilliant person, don't get me wrong, and I don't care at all that we don't agree on some major issues, but I hate that he keeps trying to argue with me and I think that he makes himself sound like a dumbass sometimes and I think he forces me to put myself in a position where I feel like one. I'd rather we be like my father and I, who even though we disagree we share any and all interesting information we find with each other. Supporting learning and discovery is not equal to debate or argument. Debate doesn't educate anyone, in my opinion.
