Top 10 BS Filled Arguments that Provoke You to Beat the Other Person

Posted: 08 Jul 2013 03:29 AM PDT

Everyone has been in a fight at one time or another, be it a verbal brawl or a throw-around of a few punches. There are those who can keep their cool in an argument and then there are those who just can't seem to take the rational approach. They invariably come down to provocative comments and arguments that raise tempers of even the most patient. Their never-ending bickering can be a little too much for anyone's endurance. If you know such a babbling moron, you know what we are talking about. Here is a list of the top 10 such banters that inspire one to beat the shit out of the other guy.

10. When someone (generally a senior) says, "Don't give me an excuse":

There are times when in a hot confrontation with, say, your boss, you try and rationalize a subject and assign a reason to it. But when a rationale and reasonable viewpoint fetches the response, "Don't give me an excuse", it is provocative enough to lead to violence. Some have thrown up whatever came readily into the hands at the moment in exasperation to deal with built up fury.

Don't give me an excuse

9. The age old "The Egg or the Hen" adage:

Snubbing an argument by slipping in an 'egg or hen first' comment can prove very frustrating at a time when a heated conversation is underway. The reaction of the person confronted with the adage could lead to him or her either to pull ones hair or sometimes landing a couple of punches to settle the argument for good.

The Egg or the Hen

8. Name calling:

This type of argument actually shows that what all had to be said has been already said and time had arrived to rough it out for name calling is a loser's way of arguing. Those using this as a resort are perfectly aware that they have lost the debate and are just trying to relieve their frustration. What they don't realize is that this can easily lead to a few painful hours in the clinic. So go ahead, give them the treatment they deserve.

Name calling

7. Off the subject:

There are times when you are talking about apples and the opponent suddenly starts ranting about oranges. There is no relation between what he is saying and where the original topic started off. In such situations, many find it hard to contain ones fury. The more the opponent provokes by deviating from the topic at hand, the more it fuels ones anger to break point and often ends up in exchange of blows.

Off the subject

6. Blabbering when one gets beaten in an argument:

Many will simply just not accept that they are outdone by an adversary. Even upon realizing that one is caught with ones foot in the mouth, they would stop at nothing because of the fear of making a fool out of oneself. Stretching the meaningless argument too far can increase frustration levels to a point where one gets restless. The itching in the opponent's mouth and your fist can only lead to one possible outcome: a verbal confrontation turning to a physical brawl.

Blabbering

5. "You too":

This is probably the mother of all bull shitting comments to utter in the heat of the moment. Instead of attempting to sort out an argument in a rational and logical manner, a sudden provocative accusation thrown at someone, even in utter defense, could be dangerous territory to get into. One person shouting down, "You are a cheat", getting the same reply back, may not always fall on deaf ears. To end the verbal dual often one is called upon to exercise physical force to settle the argument.

You too

4. Double false statements:

Being included to either sides of an argument, in which one has no stakes, may find one having to settle an issue by force of what was not his or her business. Like the case of being included in an argument where the opponent without any reason declares that you are either with a certain social practice or against it? You may have your reasons to withhold taking sides on the matter but you have been placed in no man's land where one is uncomfortable. Against an dim witted person, such an argument can result in a fist slug out anytime.

Double false statements

3. "Prove it":

Often it happens that the one you are arguing with challenges you to prove the falsehood of something when rationally he should be furnishing the proof. It is reverse psychological game at play and one falls into the trap. With either side shouting 'Prove this' or 'prove that' the argument can get to a point where there is nothing rational left to discuss but exchange some blows to put an end to it.

Prove it

2. Once wrong, always wrong:

Another argument with no coherent premise, this is also one increasingly used in losing debates. This has the assumption; if you utter anything wrong during an argument all your previous assertions are wrong too. While it brings out the foolishness of the adversary, what it actually does is just add fuel to the fire to ones anger.

Once wrong, always wrong

1. Freedom of Speech:

Most have faced this stupid and pathetically weak argument. Instead of admitting that the contentious point in the argument stand settled and there is nothing more left to add to the debate, the opponent taking defense in, "There is freedom of Speech and I can say whatever I want to" often leads to breakdown of all civility. While nobody would deny anybody of freedom of speech but misuse of the freedom can have many aftershocks with it.

Top 10 Sensational Cases of Tragic Deaths

Posted: 08 Jul 2013 03:04 AM PDT

When death comes, it chooses without discriminating. Popular or common, all of us are mortals and fated to meet the ultimate goal of our life, which is death. There are some people who are legends, popular, and who have achieved what no other could ever do after them, but the sudden end of their lives were tragedies. History witnessed politician being assassinated, music icons shot dead by fans, legendary entertainers dying of drug overdose, accidents, and suicides. Tragedy of these lives left behind fans crying and world mourning over their loss. To list them in order of the fame of their tragedies and relevance to the world, here are 10 most tragic deaths ever.

10. Brandon Bruce Lee (February 1, 1965 – March 31, 1993):

Life of a legend among martial artists, Bruce Lee, ended in a sort of tragedy before his age. However, what if you are told that his son, Brandon Lee, who was an American actor as well as a martial artist, was accidentally shot on movie set and died while performing. That's true; Lee was shooting for "The Crow" on March 31, 1993 when a fellow actor accidentally fired a bullet at him. It was his first starring role after a struggle in the industry. He missed the success of his career in such a wasteful manner.

9. Michael Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009):

Guinness World Record put MJ, as the most dazzling and successful entertainer of all time. The world calls him the "King of Pop".  His fan base, like that of Lennon, was hysterical about him. His fans knew nothing, but one God, and it was MJ for them. He gave name to some of the very difficult popular dance styles such as 'robot and moonwalk'. He was twice inducted into the "Dance Hall of Fame", and one of the very few to get a place into "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame". He ended his life due to overdose of benzodiazepine intoxication, giving the world another name in the list of famous celebrities who died of drug overdose.

Michael Jackson

8. Marilyn Monroe (June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962):

Perhaps, Monroe was the biggest 'sex symbol' during 1950s and 1960s. She was titled as the "Film’s Sexiest Women of All Time", and was even ranked as the 'sixth-greatest female star' of all time by the American Film Institute.  This American model rose to heights of fame for her insane beauty and sex appeal. All this ended in a miserable death due to an overdose of barbiturates or anti-depressants. Some even sighted the probability of a suicide in the death of the diva.

Marilyn Monroe

7. Princess Diana (1 July 1961 – 31 August 1997):

Fourth Child of 8th Earl Spencer, Diana came from a royal ancestry and later the world knew her as the "Queen of Wales".  After marriage to Prince Charles, she became extremely popular as a celebrity as well as due to her fund raising and huge charities for global causes. A great credit goes to Diana for supporting well known "International Campaign to Ban Landmines". Now, as we have her name in this list, we know that she ended in a tragedy after all this. Her fans all over the world mourned and cried after the news of her death in a car crash came on 31 August 1997.

Princess Diana

6. Elvis Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977):

Talking of the most popular musicians of 20th century and no one can exclude this name. He is still known as "King of Rock and Roll", an American singer, who earned the prestige of being a cultural icon, and holds the record of being best selling solo artist in book of popular music. He got "Grammy Lifetime Achievement", but died due to drug prescription abuse at the age of 42 years.

Elvis Presley

5. John Lennon (9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980):

Ranked eighth by BBC poll for "100 greatest Britons", rated fifth greatest singer of all time by 'Rolling Stone', and founder of the "Beatles", this guy is a legend among the English musicians. He is known for his acerbic nature reflected in his songs, writings, interviews and his personal life. He enjoyed hysterical fan base, and by the end of 2012, sale off his solo albums reached a huge figure of 14 million. He was shot dead by one of his fan on 8 December 1980. That's right, one of his fan shot him four times on his back. What would you call it; irony of life or an odd tragedy?

John Lennon

4. Martin Luther King Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968):

A Nobel Peace Prize winner for fighting against racial inequality, King stands as an icon in the history of America today. He led the great African-American Civil Rights Movement, and if you know about him, then you surely know what he meant for this movement. He is considered one of most influential characters in US history for his nonviolent leadership throughout the civil rights.  His speech in 1963, known as "I Have a Dream" earned him a reputation of being one of the greatest orators in US history. But this peaceful man ended in tragedy with his assassination in April 1968 under a political conspiracy.

Martin Luther King Jr

3. John F. Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963):

Youngest man to be elected as the President of United States, JFK shares his fame with Lincoln for how he led his country through modern day crisis, resolved African-American Civil Right Movement, and of course, the space race with USSR for supremacy in exploring the space. Despite his huge personal and public achievements, his death came as a tragedy when he was assassinated on November 22, 1963. Some say, he fell victim to a political conspiracy.

John F. Kennedy

2. Mahatma Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948):

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, also known as Mahatma Gandhi, this man earned a place of legend in Indian struggle for Independence. The world wondered the way this man turned the British Empire into nothing, that too, without ever lifting even a stick for violence. He endured beating and torture at the hands of the British and led India to freedom. Not only as a leader, but also as an individual, the life of Gandhi and his "Experiments with Truth", are subject of research for scholars from all around the world. However, this man could not eat the fruit of his own crop, and was assassinated by Nathuram Godse on 30 January 1948, summing one more in the history of tragic deaths.

Mahatma Gandhi

1. Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865):

Ranked by scholars as well as public as the greatest US Presidents ever, this man rowed United States through great crisis such as the American Civil War, slave culture, economical struggle. He rose from an extremely poor family to become the 16th president of US. He still stands as an icon of a self-educated and intellectually enlightened being. The struggle of his life saw fruits with his win in the elections, but he could not live long enough to enjoy them, and was assassinated in April 1865.
