Point of view
I have this unscientific psychological theory. I think people can be divided into two groups. Those who enjoy thinking and then discussing (arguing), and there are those who don't. Those who don't, feel like it is an exercise in futility. I wonder if they just don't like being wrong. If you invest your life into a single line of thinking, disputing this line is not in your best interest. I enjoy it. Name the subject, if I have any lick of knowledge of the subject (or can fake it), I enjoy discussing it. Although, the expression of a point of view is what I enjoy and dislike any real attempt to force your view upon mine. I will lend as much credence to your point of view as you do me.

Agreed.
I enjoy conversation (and debate) for conversation's sake and can talk about ANYTHING (even if I don't know what I'm talking about). A friend told me once that I was a "conossieur of conversation." I liked that.
I enjoy genuine conversation too. The small talk, How are you doing today, how's the family.... drives me nuts. In my line of work, I have to do it all day long.
KAren and I invented a game during our Thanksgiving roadtrip. One is required to come up with any subject, regardless of how arcane it may be and the other is required to give their opinion of that subject. The instigator then weighs in. You'd be suprised where it can lead in conversation. For instance, Karen offered "meterology." She found out a trivial fact about my thought life in that i foten think it would have been a grand idea to be a weatherman. It's science, but it leaves room for inaccuracy and someon camera frivolity. --TimSean.com
