Everyone has different opinions, and may both conflict; this is where arguing comes in. A quarrel between two characters in which neither side really has any valid points to back up their argument, or they just aren't listening to each other, so for want of trying to win, the argument descends into bickering in the basic format of "Is not!" "Is too!" "Is not!" "Is too!"

Often used to indicate general childishness or immaturity. Arguing, however, isn't necessarily part of hatred and anger towards other characters or people, but it is possible that sometimes they can both merge into each other, known as a feud.
