In any arguement when Im involved there are only 2 laws:

Law 1
I am always right. My opinion counts for all and you must ask if you wish to have a different opinion to me.

Law 2
If I am wrong, refer to Law 1.

Before you can define the laws of an arguement, you must first define what an arguement is.

An agruement is a comparison between two answers to a question. Nothing more than two possible answers. Only one can be right unless they both carry the same facts and are summarized differently, then they can coexist.

Making a conclusionary statement to research is based on a compilation of information that you have obtained, analyzed and summarized. The conclusion you make is supported by these facts and your reason in applying those facts.

The Laws of arguement simply allow for the presentation of the facts behind the conclusionary statements made. An example would be two answers to the question: "do guns kill people"?

One would say yes guns kill people because it is clearly identified that if you point a gun at someones heart and fire a bullet into that persons heart, they will die. Thus.. Guns kill people. Based on pure fact and knowledge of the mechanics behind a projectile piercing the human heart and the damage done.

Anothe would say no guns don't kill people because if there isn't someone there to pull the trigger, the gun would't do anything. Its an inanimate object. Killing is a verb and inanimate objects cannot actively do things. It would require a force acted upon that gun to cause it to do something. Therefore the force acted upon it is what kills people.

A solid arguement with two conclusions based on facts and logical reason.

First you can say almost anything in an argument and as long as u appear confident anyone can believe there is truth 2 it. In order to avoid being in an argument just agree continuously with what they say and this allows them 2 realize that you are 2 busy 2 argue or care about their own pety thoughts. Such as i.

Premises for argument

1. Person trying to make themselve feel superior (as in knowledge)

2. Attempting to convince themselves of something by first convincing others.

3. Self un-certainty.

4. Failure to want to take responsibility for one self and the need to blame others for they own failures.

Arguments are a result of different persons viewing a situation from different perspctives probably due to their different backgrounds,knowledge and experiences in life.For arguments not to ensue,one has to try to see the situation from the other persaons perspective without prejudice and in an unselfish manner.

actually, this depends on whether you are arguing with fools or the educated. If you are arguing with the educated, you need to know
the rules of rationality and reason and logic, or you won't argue well.

There are no "laws"
Arguments are subjective.
