Both sides get angry, they both don't want to understand the other side, they just want to be right, then they both walk away all huffy under the guise of "I'M DONE WITH THE CONVERSATION" when really all they did was throw a grownup version of a temper tantrum and flounce.
They can work out alright sometimes - I've got a religious friend who I often debate with over various points about religion, and we've never had any blow-ups or snits about it. :3 We're both very laid back though, and we also both have a strong scientific background (I'm a biologist, he's a microbiologist) so that helps overcome the usual language barrier, and we usually just banter back and forth until we have to stop to make dinner or something. Neither of us is trying to convert the other, which helps a lot. I always like discussing religion with people, so long as it stays civil and no one starts getting angry or aggressive on either side, as I find it really interesting what people believe and why. ^^
I can drive well but I don't have a license. >.> I keep meaning to get one, but I get freaked out at the thought of driving around other vehicles. My family's had a bad history with cars - every single one of us has been in a bad car wreck at some point, at least two of which (including the one I was in) had fatalities, so I'm nervous about the whole idea of it.
