Agree to Disagree
Weaver and Dax have a fundamental difference of opinion over how to treat their visitor. Do you have one particular issue that frequently resurfaces in arguments with any of your close friends? When you argue with someone close to you, do you make up quickly, or do you hold a grudge/employ the silent treatment/etc.?

Oddly, the only thing I can think of, that I frequently disagree with close friends on, is exactly the issue of this weeks Negative One comic (only the size roles are reversed). Whereas I am larger and much more guarded, I feel my friend is way too trusting and accessible to strangers. We don't usually have heated arguments about that anymore, so there's nothing to have a grudge about. I mainly just try to hold my tongue a bit about it in cases where broaching the subject might be a sensitive issue and basically just hope that no one does grossly cross the line in taking advantage of my friend's willingness to trust them and give people the benefit of the doubt. |

There really aren't many points of contention between my friends and I, and even fewer that get revisited. I guess the closest would be the arguement I have with my parents on how to deal with Stupidhead. They want me to be aggressive with him and try to get him to leave us alone, where I believe that if I do that, things will just get worse and it's not about me, it's about Katie.
When I get angry or fight with someone, generally I explode and after a few minutes or hours, everything is back to normal and all is forgiven. I'm not a big fan of the silent treatment, especially since it bothers me so much when I get it from someone.

I think I avoid confrontation to much, but various friends of mine would like to lecture me about my known flaws.
Messiness
Weirdness
going all quiet around random people I don't know while a friend of mine would gossip about people I don't know.
Just how can I respond to such conversations?
I'm friends with folks with all sorts of different religious points of views who believe things I don't agree with. It's easier for me to disagree in writing than out loud, but I try to be polite about it. 9 times out of 10 it's not worth arguing and it will only give me a stomach ache so if people insist on believing in something I don't agree with, what can I do about it? What do you do if an rather nice person keeps insisting that liberalism is related to Nazism when they are DIFFERENT THINGS? Or at least socialism. It makes my brain itch in terms of pure knowledge of the world.
