I Disagree
Most of the times in class discussions, I find that many people talk aimlessly just for the sake of talking, just to get those discussion points. I mean lets be honest, we have all done it, myself included. Sometimes I walk out of the room at the end of the period and think, wow what happened today in that class? I feel almost as if some discussions end up having no point at all. Everyone just tries to get their two-cents in. Every couple times a class someone will bring up a really good point, or someone will ask a question (I know this has happened to me) and the next person to talk will completely ignore them just to say something off topic, something that seems a little pointless to what someone had just talked about, only to get those discussion points in. Sometimes when I feel as though this has happened excessively, or just for my own entertainment, I will randomly look at everyone in the class and think about who I want to argue with on that given day. Usually the people who get talked more get picked more, or those who I hold a secret grudge against (just kidding). But there really exists no pattern as to which how I choose people. Sometimes I just find so much entertainment in arguing with others and watching that stunned look on their faces. Sometimes I will even get loud and boisterous for effect as well. I am actually surprised more people do not do this, even now that some people have known that I have done this arguing thing for a while. I urge people to give arguing a try, as it would make for a much more entertaining class. (Also, as if one could not tell, the fact that I tend to argue a lot holds as the main theme of my blog)

Arguing in class is actually fun, but only if everyone gets involved. Too often, the arguments are just between two people and everyone else feels too awkward to break in. I try to cut into arguments, but most often the only way to do so is to disagree with everyone and then awkwardly segue into another topic I think the bottom line is that we should all try not to talk aimlessly so that even if we're arguing, there's a point to it.
