  NBC: Disagreement over timing of arrests - Lisa Myers & the NBC News Investigative Unit - MSNBC.com
LONDON - NBC News has learned that U.S. and British authorities had a significant disagreement over when to move in on the suspects in the alleged plot to bring down trans-Atlantic airliners bound for the United States.
British officials knowledgeable about the case said British police were planning to continue to run surveillance for at least another week to try to obtain more evidence, while American officials pressured them to arrest the suspects sooner.
Analysts say that in recent years, American security officials have become edgier than the British in such cases because of missed opportunities leading up to 9/11.

 Destructive disagreement belief, disagreement and relationship satisfaction in romantic relationships
The second explanation is that disagreement experienced as negative is primarily associated with relationship dissatisfaction and secondarily with the belief that disagreement is destructive.
Both studies showed that the association between relationship satisfaction and the belief that disagreement is destructive was not due to the measures sharing the common element of disagreement as the relationship satisfaction scale did not mention disagreement.
While the first study suggested that the association between the destructive disagreement belief and relationship satisfaction was due to the spurious effect of consensus, the second study indicated that this was not the case.

 The Ethics of Disagreement in Islam: Chapter Two
Such disagreements may also be spurred on by a striving for intellectual rigor and by the demands of faith.
Disagreement over such subsidiary issues are often quite sensitive and may lead a person to confuse piety with his own personal inclination, knowledge with conjecture, the preferable with what he himself has chosen, and the acceptable with the unacceptable.
Such disagreements are inevitable unless we have recourse to agreed-upon criteria for resolving them, disciplines to regulate the methods of deduction, and ethical norms which would govern the conduct of handling differences.

 CollegeWriting.info: "Writing a Disagreement" Basics
When you write a disagreement, you are learning to create a fair, reasoned, and careful discussion to show, first, what an author says and then, second, to either support or criticize him or her through your own experience or by researching the experiences of others.
A disagreement should have an academic writing style, which means sentences and words of some length and complexity (but nothing you cannot easily understand yourself) and paragraphs that often are medium to long, though a mixing of lengths and an occasional short paragraph are desirable.
In most disagreements, you should use the third-person pronoun: "he," "she," "it," and "they." You should not use "you," as you are not giving directions or commanding your audience to agree with you.

 WashingtonPost.com: Democracy and Disagreement
When a disagreement is not deliberative (for example, about apolicy to legalize discrimination against fls and women), citizens do not have any obligations of mutual respect toward their opponents.
In deliberative disagreement (for example, about legalizing abortion), citizens should try to accommodate the moral convictions of their opponents to the greatest extent possible, without compromising their own moral convictions.
We call this kind of accommodation an economy of moral disagreement, and believe that, though neglected in theory and practice, it is essential to a morally robust democratic life.

 Disagreement: Politics and Philosophy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
In Disagreement, Ranciere explores the apparent contradiction between these terms and reveals the uneasy meaning of their union in the phrase "political philosophy"—a juncture related to age-old attempts in philosophy to answer Plato's devaluing of politics as a "democratic egalitarian" process.
Disagreement investigates the various transformations of this regime of "truth" and their effects on practical politics.
Ranciere then distinguishes what we mean by "democracy" from the practices of a consensual system in order to unravel the ramifications of the fashionable phrase "the end of politics." His conclusions will be of interest to readers concerned with political questions from the broadest to the most specific and local.

 Dialogue and Moral Disagreement   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
Disagreements about how to respond to particular current circumstances will be pressing in this further sense—that they have to be decided very soon—and dialogue about those disagreements will thus be urgent in a further sense as well.
Finally, the fact that there is a pressing disagreement in actuality means that there is disagreement about the third question—there is disagreement about what society or the state should do given that there is significant moral disagreement about the matter.
He dismisses Nagel's claim that the appropriate way of accommodating fundamental or "brute" disagreements is a policy of state neutrality, by arguing that the distinction between reasonable (i.e., resolvable in principle) and brute disagreements is too blurry to help us in deciding when to be neutral and when to not be.

 An Argument for Freedom Based Upon Disagreement by Michael S. Rozeff
Since the A people disagree with the S people, the S people cannot justify using force to impose deposit insurance as this simply violently ends the argument or suppresses it and force is not a legitimate argument or justification.
They have in common the framework of argumentation and thus disagreement, the notion that justification doesn’t rely on coercion, and the outcome that the defender of the State is placed in an untenable position.
Anyone who tries to defend the benefits of the State and meets with disagreement is literally unable to justify these benefits because he is advocating a coercive solution to the argument.

That's not to say it isn't a serious disagreement, in particular if both parties think their usage corresponds to the folk conception, that is, if what they disagree about is whether S is true in the thought experiment according to the common, conventional usage of S in their community.

 The Argument From Disagreement Deepened by Michael S. Rozeff
I went further in the argument from disagreement.
I wish to show that the argument for disagreement belongs in the class of undeniable statements; that is, it’s a praxeological certitude based in the logic of human action.

 CollegeWriting.info: "Writing a Disagreement" Introduction
A disagreement with a reading or text is a response to something intelligent you have read, often a short, argumentative essay--a response in which you disagree in a logical, organized way (with some agreement possibly allowed).
Some examples of disagreements to texts are longer, high-quality editorials in newspapers that respond to what some other author has written; and fairly and reasonably given speeches that argue against what someone has written or said.
The Gettysburg Address, for example, is in part a disagreement with the gloom-and-doom editorial writers of the time who were suggesting that the Union was bound to lose the Civil War.
