Sometimes arguing is a good mental exercise. It's good to have our views challenged / challenge other people's views / argue things from a different position than your own. You can expand your views, or understand the other side's views and maybe learn to change some views.
We are just passionate and frustrated, and the persistent stress gets to us and sometimes makes us a bit too much of a bitch sometimes.
