Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 01, 2011
Transcript:
Danae: Do you have any tips on winning arguments, Daddy? Joe: Hmmm... that depends on how one defines, "winning." For me, it's trying to reach a consensus in resolving issues. Dane: Wait... let me write this down. Joe: Brow-beating an opponent until they walk away is not reaching a consensus. Danae: Oh, let's not quibble over details and just agree I'm right, OK?

I think we’ve all been there; discussing an issue with someone who is having an argument with you. Fun!

I used to have a boss who considered relationships with both customers and employees to be adversarial. Or in other words “I’m the BOSS, I’m right and you’re not.”

Danae is just showing she’s female….and preparing for marriage.

In conclusion, quibbling over details is definitely not the way to reach a consensus on issues.

“Winning” is important to you only if you think that nothing in the universe exists outside of your own skin. Accomplishment is excellent; competition is invigorating and strengthening — but “winning” is nothing more than giving your inner crybaby its lollipop.

Winning is everything. It’s a good enough reason not to marry

Imagine the sins Dad committed in his former life to deserve Danae.

And some of us women are married and don’t force our spouses to win every argument.

Or any “discussion” anywhere else on the internet.

Danae is like this because Dad lets her be that way. If she had ANY consequences for her actions, she’d be more human, than monster. Of course, if that happened, it wouldn’t be as funny. Although, strangely, I didn’t laugh at all today, I just though how sad Dad was.

BTW, what ever happened to __________, the finacee.

I feel sorry for poor Danae. She will never have the joy of finding out what she really wants (or needs), since she will never have the need to prioritize and dig into the hidden motivations for her positions and demands.

I really hope the run ends with Danae being beaten at her own game. Or else someone bursting her bubble. I just love it when that happens to someone who so encompasses the masses.

I remember stuff like that at work. I still thought that I was right, but the other person cared more.
