There are a few debates that make me feel that way.
I don't need to agree with everyone, but you should have a sound basis for belief. And even if you don't, at least agree it is irrational and accept that people aren't going to be convinced "just because", or recognize that it is a subjective answer and just because it is something you don't like does not make it inherently "bad".
Opinions are like anuses. Everyone has one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks.
