Do you start arguments you know you will win just to argue?

No, but I do start "arguements" on topics I think I'm right on, not to incite an argurment, to spur debate. How do you know you position is strong if you can't handle criticism? If I'm wrong, and I think I'm right I want to know. I can't always tell myself this, outside influence is often helpfull.

Hmm... I don't do it just to win, but I do it when I'm bored.

Like in car trips or when nobody is talking, I'll just say something so racist/sexist that it'll start a conversation going.

Most of my friends know this, but sometimes when someone new is thrown into the "hangout" group, they'll think I'm a huge asshole.

thats normal. most people wouldn't argue if they didn't belive they were right. still doing it when you know your wrong just to argue is twisted. and i do it all the time.

I'll argue even after I know I'm wrong until the point that I'm convinced that I'm right.

Yep. Especially when someone is making a rediculously stupid claim. I love to see the fool squirm when I own them! :evil:

It's easy to do it around here. So many liberal young democrats who's only knowledge of politics is... THERE'S GOING TO BE A DRAFT! OMG!!! YOU = THE DEVIL!

not trying to start a debate here... just saying that I enjoy discussing politics with my fellow liberal californian teens because they have no idea what they're talking about
