Argumentivness

One thing I have noticed that my generation has become notoriously bad for is arguing a point by saying "thats stupid," and leaving it at that.  The only thing they care about is telling the opponent they are wrong, regardless of whether or not said person is actually wrong.  My generation has turned arguments into opinions and based right and wrong over what each person wants to hear, nothing more and nothing less.  The person who believes said statement is wrong does nothing but tell the opponent that he/she is wrong and stupid.  No matter what the opponent says the person arguing stays with the base "you're stupid" rebuttal and twists the argument into whatever suits them best.  It is indicative of the work ethic of my generation as well as the tolerance and thought process todays students are taking.  The sad thing is, the argumentative process described above is what one will receive if said person makes this type of accusation to my generation.
