How long....

....do you argue a point?
You know you are right....
....but the other person believes (s)he is right
And you both keep saying the same thing over and over
Neither one is able to convince the other.

What would you do?

actually you will discover that the only person someone can convince is themselves.
Well as for such arguments, the best to do is to agree to disagree :)

In that case, its better to stop the argument at a point and take some time to ponder over what was exchanged. That will help in clarity of our thoughts too.

Nod unconvincedly and end it there. Or say "I suppose there's some merit in that but ..."

I always try to look at the other point of view too, but if nothing can be resolved, then it's best to agree to disagree and let it go ... =) esp. during the holiday season.

Stop for the moment and Think...
A break surely makes the two re think abt the situation... :)
...then resolute..
After such a break..we def wont argue! :)

Wishing you happy holidays too Jayasree :)!

Think again ..are you really right, take other sides perspective also, and then if you are really right, leave it for time to resolve..after sometime everybody comes to know what is right.

Arguements, specially in the family are better if avoided.Nobody wins them.

Happy New Year to you and your family, J!

I will give up, at that point and will make them understand later....

Wishing you and your family a very happy and prosperous New Year Jayashree:)

Agree to disagree if she is good friend to you. We care all different and don't have to agree with each other all the time! :))

Happy 2010.

Depends on who I am arguing with. If it is with someone who doesn't matter to me, I just shrug and let it go. I don't argue unless I am right anyway hahaha laugh away.
