6 year old and 7 year old will not get along?

i watch a 6 year old and 7 year old and they wont get a long. one does something the other one just gets mad and yells and says i hate you i wish i never had to come here which pushes the other one to say i wish you weren't here either. is there anything i can do to help them get along. it never seems to end with the names and put downs (normal girl things) and then when one is quiet the other one has to egg on an argument. its driving me crazy.

Answer:
Put them apart from each other for awhile.Talk to them.Ask the parents what they do when the kids act that way.Play games with them,keep them busy,do fun things with them.
maybe trying to give them a games/toys that both of them could share and have their turns.
Bring them to my house. I have 6 and 7 years old daughters. We will throw all of them in the back yard and drink margaritas. Don't worry the yard is fenced in!! LOL.

I have the same issues, I am totally feelin ya.
Heck spank them if they don't listen to you. I know that that's what my parents did and I am a good kid as are my siblings. Also everyone else i know who used corporal punishment have better behaved kids than those that did not.
I have a 7 and 9 yr old going thru the same thing..i have tried everything in the parenting books nothing worked..till now..when they say something mean to each other i make them sit down and take turns telling each other something they like about the other.Wether it works cause they hate doing it or works cause they mean it..i dont know..but makes life easier
I don't have kids that old yet, but my first thought is to speak with each individually, when it seems like a comfortable time, and ask each why they other gets on their nerves so much, what does it all boil down to? Then have a group discussion about working on it. And since they seem to both be equally responsible for starting a fight, just punish them both every time they fight and be consistent. Find out what their "currency" is, what they value, and just take it away from both, no discussion, until it ends, period, perhaps a favorite show or something. Be consistent and firm, and don't take talking back or consequences should double.
Are they both girls? Do girly thing! Find things they can agree on and be an active participant as a way to give supervision. Make crafts, do their hair, bake cookies - anything! Encourage them to help one another during the activity and pretty soon they'll forget why they were arguing in the first place.
