After a conversation with my husband we both began to realize life could be so much sweeter if we were gentler at the start, kinder in words. And like a miracle each of us worked diligently on being careful not to hit most of the pitfalls you mentioned it really worked it took time and now I am a more peaceful person and so is my husband. We work hard and still catch ourselves and when that happens we stop and rethink our thoughts..best of luck this is a good one and we all can always improve ourselves if we think about it. Regarding politics, it'll never have because the art of bipartisanship is a thing of the past and control and power prevail..

But of course, then we wouldn't need a comment section on our blogs. Or a blog for that matter. @nothingprofound.....couldn't agree more. @BK.....people just don't know how to resolve conflicts. And too often things escalate before people realize there is a common ground. Sad. @E.....I wish they could just let Obama do his thing. I mean if Bush gets to have 8 yrs! Are you kidding me??!!! @Meleah......thanks. Glad you liked that one. @askcherlock....you are so right. Wish we had the answer, but we just report the news! @kelly.......I agree. Obama should get 8 yrs just like Bush. I'm confident he could fix a lot in that time. One year is not enough for sure! @Ethelmae….Thanks!!

I would also note that it does not help to argue endlessly after both parties have made their points. The real gift or talent you can bring to the table in such conflicts is the ability to at least try to see the other's viewpoint. If you achieve that, that could be the start of a real understanding and possibly diffuse the conflict/arguement/war or whatever. I also need to mention that it's going to take more than a little over a year for Obama to clean up the mess that Bush made during 8 years in office as president Kelly I agree about the five points of fighting badly.

I wish those in Washington would read this and make Cliff notes on men (and women) behaving badly. Out of all the issues on your list, I think holding grudges is one of the biggest impediments to peace, whether it is our own realms or the world. Holding grievances leaves people stuck in neutral and there is no going forward. Excellent post, Guys!

I agree with ALL of these points! People dont HAVE to agree with each other, but they SHOULD listen to each other! This made me laugh out loud: 4. Constantly cutting off the other person to make your point. Or basically not listening. Or you could call this “Rush Limbaughing” to judgement. AHAHHAHHAHHAH Very well said.

Weather people agree with our current president or not they need to realize HE IS the president and even if they don't agree with him should try to respect him and at least hear what he has to say. Also I like the top 5 list! lol I think we are guilty of this from time to time. At some point though I like to agree to disagree. :) Point well made!

Very often in arguments, I have been seeing point 1, 2 and especially 5. In fact, point 5 brings on all the other points. If we do not hold grudges against someone, I believe we will be able to hold a conversation with the person calmly. And in order for change to occur, we need to come together and share common ground.

Plus it's enormous fun to be exposed to new ways of thinking, to hear what others have to say. By being indignant and narrow-minded we're depriving ourselves of this great pleasure.

We live in a world of differing opinions which is the root of all conflict. I'm looking forward to the day when science can enable us to communicate with each other telepathically, and with the advancement of nanotech, I'm pretty sure it will not be long for that to happen. Even the sun is currently giving us a hand to activate our dormant psychic abilities. When we get to that point, I guess it will not be that hard to resolve all our differences. Heck, the other guy will be able to read my thoughts even before I can call him a George Bush. Message sent. Precisely! We live in a world of differing opinions which is the root of all conflict.
