Argument (Graded)

One of my friends and I usually get into deep arguments about things, usually about government, politics or anything with how the world revolves. Well last year when I was living with my friend we had a huge disagreement about PEAK oil. Which is basically when oil reaches it's maximum production and starts to decline. So if global cosnumption is not taken care of, an energy crisis might come about because the amount of oil will drop and the price will increase. Which in turn, could start a big panic in society and have everyone freak out. Our argument consisted of him believing that PEAK oil will happen within a couple years and the whole country is gonna be in an uproar and panic. I disagreed and said it won't happen for a long time and by that time we will have invented or created something that is not so dependant on oil. We both knew quite a bit about it, so it was a heated argument that lasted a good week. In all reality we shouldn't have gotten so mad at eachother but we wanted to prove our points. Finally after about a week we both agreed that if it happens, it happens and if it doesn't, it doesn't. No use in fighting about something that you can't control. But every once in awhile we'll bring it up and get into a small argument that only lasts about an hour!
