Would you say that arguing on Facebook is inherently obnoxious, regardless of the person or manner in which it is done? Is there a legitimate motivation for arguing on Facebook?

Not at all. It's pointless. It's useless. FUCKING SHIT. :mad:
It totally depends on what it is, and the extent of the arguing. If its about politics, yea that can be annoying, when it comes down to name calling and petty shit like that it can get annoying. But say its about something like the ending of some an episode of say the walking dead. People can argue about that a little bit, because in the long run arguments can be fun. But again it's all about what the argument is about and the amount of arguing there is.
Arguing about politics, bad. Arguing about a mediocre television show, good
Why is discussing politics bad? A functional liberal democracy is based on public discussion among other things. Of course, bickering and calling each other dumb for voting this or that is just meaningless, but a proper discussion on a political topic can't harm. Of course, FB doesn't offer the best platform for political issues as they most often are long and complex, but I still don't see any harm in superifical discussions on FB.Quote:

You switched from the "arguing" that everyone else was talking about to "discussing" - huge difference! I'll discuss politics with rational, calm, intelligent people, but I sure as hell will not argue about it.Quote:
