I was in an airport argument with a British person. I was amazed to learn not only do they like to argue but they like being calm and reasonable about it. I think inviting and arguing with strangers is something they do to pass the time.

I should spend more time in places I can meet British people then.

Where I live many people think that arguing with them means that I want to insult or dominate them.

I recommend getting into it with a hot take on Harry Potter or English football. You can keep it going for hours.
