    I have to assume that you purposefully try and take the counter-argument.

I come to places where people have views that oppose mine and argue with them wherever I can.

I love arguments. I tend to encourage and try to cause arguments with the posts I comment on and the places I discuss. I try to find places like this, where views are so different, and comment on them so that I may slowly try and ensure that any views I hold will be shifted to a more neutral point of view.

A person who lives their life only agreeing with other people, never bothering to challenge their views, is going to have views that are very weak, and very false.
