Next time you're in a passionate, irrational, hair-pulling, name-calling, arrest producing argument, take the high road. Just walking away or keeping your mouth shut is always the best course of action because it is the ultimate way to infuriate the person you're arguing with. People who can't control themselves hate those who can, which is why fat people are so hostile.
Taking the high-road will also make you feel morally superior and self-righteous, which is a great feeling. Just ask anyone in AA.
