I think instead of arguing, there may be some things we can all agree on. Here are some suggestions:
Mosquito bites are unpleasant.
Grass is usually green.
Horses are not a type of insect.
Barack Obama is not the same person as George H. W. Bush.
Planting an egg in the ground will not grow an eggplant.
Pigs are not kosher animals.
Great idea. We’ll start with the basics, then work our way up until we can define the point on which we disagree.
Right is right, up is up, down is down. Agreed?
Mosquito bites herald the arrival of Summer, and as such, whilst painful, are generally worth the aggravation.
Except when it’s on the other side, when it’s green-er
Have you never heard of a Horsefly?
Well, have you ever seen them, in the same room, at the same time, with one talking whilst the other one drinks a cup of water?
Have you tried it?
They’re at least 50% kosher, what with the split hooves.
I think I’m Jewish.
I disagree.
Barack Obama is not the same person as George H. W. Bush
however they are from the same bloodline
also there’s a website that’s title is
Bush 2.0: 100 Ways Barack Obama
Is Just Like George W. Bush
and a son is part of the father
You’re all dolty twits.
I’ll agree to that.
We’re not dolty twits. We’re twitty dolts.
Popa is a dolt
Now let’s try to be serious. A lot of the arguments here, and between shomrei torah in general, happen at the 6th decimal place. Last Rosh Hashana I noticed you could even read that into “????? ??? ??? ????” from Musaf. In that vein, here are some broad things we all agree on with the parts that we fight about left vague enough to satisfy everyone.
God runs the world (“runs” not defined so nobody has to give up their favorite Rishon on Hashgacha).
Jews should pray (deliberately broad enough to satisfy all the people who say yeshiva bochurim shouldn’t be bothered about minyan).
Jews should keep shabbos (NO FIGHTING ABOUT THE RIGHT WAY TO MAKE TEA)
There is such a thing as derech eretz that need not be spelled out by a se’if in shulchan aruch but is obligatory anyway.
^Tznius for both men and women sometimes under the above.
Any more?
