RE: Is what we think emotional or intellectual?
Aw fuck, I can't change the title of the OP.

How come when you argue it makes you feel emotional, how come emotions are so deeply intertwined with what seems to be deceivingly "intellectual" subjects?

But what assumption leads you to assume emotions should be excluded from intellectual subjects?  Without emotion you very likely cannot have a point of view on a topic.  You'd be like Data from Star Trek reeling off a brain storming of every related point with no organizing principle.  Emotion helps put you into the argument .. you goof.   Tongue
Well, emotions are emotions. I mean, it seems kinda spooky, how the way you feel could effect your logic.
