and when you argue it always ends up being like 5 pages and when you prove him/her wrong they find a sad excuse to make up for waht they said or pretty much ignore what you wrote. is it just me? or does anyone else releaze it?

Over in System Wars, I've been proven wrong a few times, and I accepted the fact (and even thanked the other guy for pointing out my fallacies).

Who are you to define right and wrong? In purely speculative debate, you can't.

If you're arguing facts and someone's wrong, I have no idea why they continue to argue (unless it's beside the main point they're trying to make, it just discredits them slightly).

I am never wrong, but for the sake of mere mortals, I allow myself to be perceived as wrong from time to time.

but why do we do it more on the internet then in real life? people go out of their way to prove others wrong. is it to show superiority? to make up something that you dont have?

People don't like to be wrong, particularly in front of other people.

You can act like an idiot on the internet anonymously, not so much in the real world.

Because you're not anonymous in real life, unlike the internet. You can act anyway you like on the internet and nobody will know who/where you are.

This generation in general never admits they're wrong. There's always got to be some kind of outside stimulus to make them bad. And it's always bad, if they do something good it was THEIR idea, if they do something bad a VIDEO GAME, TV, MOVIE, BOOK made them do it.

If I am wrong, I am wrong. Not the end of the world. The trick is to be right to where you don't look like an ass to the uninvolved, that way, should you be wrong later, you can be wrong with grace and not have your face shoved in it.

Well then good for you. You shouldn't care if others won't admit they're wrong. If you're right and you and said person both know that they're wrong, that's all that matters.

Are you referring to me? I type just about exactly how I speak. Only difference is I also use profanity when not on GameSpot, but that is against the ToU.

Ah. I see. Well you shouldn't let that bother you. Everybody has words they don't understand. If you don't know the words, you could ask the person using them what they mean. You understand what I'm saying?

People don't want to or can't except another persons view. I think that's all there is to it. that's why we see people bicker about someones taste in music or movies all the time. Tow people will have different views and they will keep telling the other person that they are wrong and eventually it just goes on and on.
