In Life there are big questions: Who are we? Why are we here? Why is Drumpf a legitimate contender to become America's next president? But here at Pointless Arguments, we throw all of that out the window and discuss what really matters. With hard hitting questions like 'What makes a sandwich?' and 'Is a house full of sand still a house?' we pit opposing sides against each other in the time old tradition of calling each other names and stubbornly refusing to change their points of view.
