<VV> argue / discuss / debate / issue

[Louis Armer]

Our language "American english" is filled with nuances and latitudes 
in the useage of a single word(s).

Jamie said to Robby:
  " It will be counterproductive for me and you to argue this until I 
am finished. I apologize for sounding crass but I am finished 
debating for now."

Robby replies:
"I guess you and I will also have to disagree on the definition of 
arguing. I simply was asking questions - not arguing.

Now Chuck says:
Robby and Jamie debated two sides of the argument / issues. Both 
offered  good points / arguments for their position in the debate 
which they discussed at length. Jamie interchanged "argue this" with 
debate and Robby took this to be arguing which in the context of the 
sentence was not Jamie's intent (my opinion).

Let the carnage continue !!! ;-)
