You know as well as I do that you can't force someone to change their mind.

The best we can manage is to lay out logic arguments for our perspective and engage in constructive, informative debate.

When said 'debate' ends up in the land insult or opinion vs verifiable facts, I just move on to the next person in search of an open mind.

I just hung up with Obama and he's onboard with redirecting the funds..he wants to know where he should credit this amount (no, he won't write you the check).

What should we do with this new found money?

i have isolated that the rightie has issue with conviction and open mind..there's this huge disconnect between the two.

If there is a strong belief in something, logic goes out the window..why?

Can anyone answer this?

Those who would act out of conviction without fact checking first make great soldiers. THAT'S the secret to republican success and they know it.

Well, that and voter suppression of the poor...

I was more curious about the money we now magically have to pay for all these refugees to come on over.

Why the fuck didn't we use that money to get the veterans off the streets first?

8 track tapes truly sucked, particularly in retrospect, because even back then, cassettes were far better...much less wow and flutter.
However, most cars did not have cassette players, as 8 track was seen as the next best thing...hahahaha...they sucked sooo bad...noise between tracks...CLUNK
Oh well...


I love my CDs, and have recently warmed up to MP3s...vinyl?, what vinyl?

Recently the majority of threads in Politics here have simply devolved into mindless name calling competitions.
This gets old very quickly.

The competition of ideas has been overwhelmed by ad-hom invective and personal attacks, ranging from the wishing of death upon opposing members to simple name calling.
It becomes ponderous and boring even when smoking some fine herb...but maybe that's just me?

'But it could'..'but it doesn't'..'but it could'..

Hard to debate this mindset.

You mean those high information poor voters? Or the ones you buy cigarettes for and load on the bus, and help them vote.

Eloquently put. I think it's deeper than 'rightie', it's a base state of human experience. These people have decided that there is nothing left they need to learn and so once they've 'set', in the concrete sense of the word, there's no changing them, even in the face of obvious miscalculation.

Since I value flexibility, adaptability and the willingness to reexamine my assumptions based on new data, I find that I don't tend to see eye to eye with this personality type much... just in case you hadn't already noticed. :lol:

No, it's pretty frustrating to me, too. Worse, I find that sometimes that level of invective rubs off and I don't like myself as well when that happens.
