debate vs quarrel
What is the difference between a debate and a quarrel?
A debate has no hostility. A debate is peaceful. A debate is fair (usually). A debate is gentlemanly.
A quarrel... hmm... when you have odd number of people, usually it is a quarrel, cos one side surely has more supporter/s than the other. (fence-sitting hurts thy butt). Voices are raised in a quarrel. Sensibility is a new vocab in a quarrel. Personal attacks are common in a quarrel. Saving face is one of the motives in a quarrel.
I just quarrelled with my mother and brother. Damn.

sigh...
mother started saying something hurting, i tried to reason, then they all said it's for my own good, blah blah blah....
wth, so if they think it's for my own good, they can say/do whatever they think is right? (regardless whether in reality it is bad for the person or not)
Reasoning with people who don't reason is plain stupid.

hmm.. gotta resolve it in a milder way i guess..
same thing happened to my sister.. and yeh.. she complained to me lor.. but well.. the reason behind a person's reasoning always has sense.. probe further.. and u might well see the sense.. but if u cant see the sense.. then probably, the reason has no sense at all.. talk things out properly.. and the person might just see tat his/her reason has no sense and your reason might have sense..
