Always being first

Unfortunately many people are more concerned with being right than with being correct. What I mean is that they want their viewpoint to be right and others to be wrong, not matter what the facts state. With this comes the need to talk about how right you are and how wrong others are. The first one to come up with something new to prove this point (whether correct or not) wins. And if it ends up not being correct, well the other side is still wrong so it doesn't matter.
