Hey cavscrew1,
You could argue that there are 2, yours and mine. For it to qualify as an argument, there need to be at least 2 sides. Like any binary decision, there is always room for analog. There could be many perspectives, as many perhaps as there are people. Look at religion, for example. (I say each to his own, don't infringe on others - but) there are many religions and sects, and cults dictating how one should live life. Each is a side to the argument on how to live life. Hope I was able to confuse the issue for you somewhat.
Then there is wikepedia definition of arguments.

We should be teaching multiple perspectives, don't you think? "Both sides on an argument" suggests there exist only two possible positions on any issue when in fact there may be, and usually are, many. I'm a teacher and a reporter, so I deal in relaying facts as far as what certain people have said and done. On the slavery topic or any other, there are ALWAYS more than two perspectives whether they're insane or rational. It's all fair game for discussion and analysis.

Considering an argument would be about a single subject, either for or against it, I would say 2 sides. There may be more than 2 people contributing to an argument, but the content would be either for or against, typically.

LOL ToolMan!
Anyway, it would depend on 1) the number of people involved, and 2) if there's more than two people, the number of points of views. For example if you had three people, but two of them had the same point of view, there would be two sides, but if they all three had different points of view there's be three sides. But the fewest sides you can have is two, I don't suppose there's any limit on how many you could have.

Typical argument - 3 sides. His, hers, and the truth.

Argument? What argument? My wife is always right. What is there to argue about?

Two sides. The ones that believe is true and the ones that believe is wrong.
