Personal: Arguments - do you do it for the sake of it?

Having a heated discussion today, about that popular topic - The EU.
Shall we leave or not?  I won't bother delving in to this - it's every British Citizens sovereign right in a democratic society to vote for what they believe in.  You choose your own vote for your own reasons.  You would have to be quite pathetic to whine about some ones choice.

What I am going to go on about is the Scare Mongering - which some seem to think has not been happening.  Then once you prove it has been happening you get "Why should it matter".

Why?  Because you are not presenting the realistic facts.  The kind of terms we have seen about the collapse of our nation, coming wars and the end of the NHS.  All of which is far over the top scare mongering.  I could easily do it in my job to get what I want, I wouldn't be presenting the honest

We all know, realistically it's a load of rubbish.  Our nation has survived a lot and still continues to thrive even after the financial crises, the regression, depression and two world wars.

This all got me thinking, do people argue just for the sake of it.  Just like a child who likes to see a reaction more than anything.  This isn't about debating any more this is about petty arguments trying to wind people up.  Piers Morgan - prime example who does this brilliantly.

It's quite sad people have to do this, not only is it arguments over petty ridiculous things but it strings on an argument that turns out to be a waste of time.  Still if some people who have nothing better to do but wind up others, this is no better than mental abuse.  You are not debating in fact you purposely being a "jerk".  The real sad part is these people have probably got issues up stairs, lack of confidence or perhaps need it to make them selves feel better.  Bit like politicians.

When you beat them in an argument they then turn on something else to rip apart to see if they can get you on that.  It's also why people lose faith in politicians.  When it comes to listening to the real issues, the real problems they simply fall short.  It would also explain that when the government makes promises they also fall short.  Makes you think if politicians were on performance pay - how much would they really earn at the end of the day.  Likewise for these people who are natural wind up merchants.

Still, I feel sympathy for them.
