Argument: What's the Point?!

What is the point of argument, I'd like to know? People believe in what they are going to believe, and you're not going to convince them just by telling what you believe - are you? So what's the point in even trying? All it does is make a bad feeling!

Look: you believe what you want! Other people believe in what they want! You're not going to change your mind on it, are you? So why would they change their mind? Are you right or are they right? I don't understand what peoples' point is, trying to determine these things! Nobody is right except each individual, in their own mind - and nobody can tell anybody otherwise! It's entirely subjective who is "right"!

It's not like you could say something, and somebody else could say "that makes sense!" - not if they don't already believe it, they won't! How could they? Or else, even if they did - what sort of person's weak mind would change just because of something they heard? Pretty suspect! Why would you even want to change the mind of somebody like that? Clearly they'll only change it again, next time they hear something else that's different!

So again I ask: why bother? What's the point?

People either agree or they don't. So people who argue, they're just wasting their time. They ought to just not! They ought to stop, and do something else instead. But you can't tell them that.

They're not interested in hearing that.
