discourse and what it is to me

Discourse is basically communicating with one another which I don't think can be that mad for most people. But some people don't want to hear other people talk because they talk with a political discourse. Some people don't want to talk about politics because they could either hate politics or because they have no idea what politics is and what it can do to better their lives. Anyone can speak politically or emotionally, but it depends if you want to believe them or not. No one is a better speaker than anyone else so they should not act like they are a better person just because they communicate louder and with more emphasis on words that no one understands. All in all, communication is a good thing but some people try to use it to there advantage to get what they want and I think that is not good.

So making a persuasive argument is not a good thing? If I were to haggle with a vendor at a flea market, using language to try and make a better deal would not be good?

The nature of discourse is more complicated than simple communication. Be careful with your definition.
